I can be responsible after all and make schedules! I am traveling the first part of September but will be back half way through. Did you know we can pop up on Fort Riley with an invitation? Let me know if you and your friends want first dibs on some of our new merch! Did you see the ghost sweatshirts?! I can’t wait until my new totes come in! Hope to see you soon!
