Fabulous!! Memories of San Juan!! 1970! 💕
It's Sponsor Saturday and we have a special thank you going out to our friends with Luna's Tacos of Iowa City! You've probably seen them (and hopefully tried their delicious food) at the Arts Fest, Jazz Fest, Rhythms at Riverfront Crossings OR on the Ped Mall at the Friday Night Concert Series! They are great partners providing yummy food and this year they also sponsored Charlotte Blu AND Natural Habits at the Friday Night Concert.
We appreciate the support!
