Excited to have Prohibition Experiences back for our 6th Barks & Bourbon! Get some of the last few tickets now before we sell out!

🥃 VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: Prohibition Experiences 🥃
A little bourbon. A good cigar. A custom w**e blend. And a whole lot of fun. Sounds like Barks & Bourbon to us! 🐾🥃

We’re excited to welcome Prohibition Experiences back for another year! They may have recently changed their name, but the passion hasn’t changed—if anything, it’s stronger than ever.

At Barks & Bourbon, they’ll be bringing some great ci**rs featuring their own blend and some fun, unique custom w**e blends to sample. 🍷💨

And what exactly does Prohibition Experiences do?
🍷 Make w**e — learn how to create your own award-winning blends
🥃 Pair w**e & ci**rs — because some things are just better together
🇮🇹 Travel to Italy — with exclusive food, w**e & cultural experiences
🤝 Bring people together — over craftsmanship, conversation, and a shared appreciation for the good stuff
"Prohibition Experiences—where every bottle tells a story, every cigar starts a conversation, and every journey becomes an unforgettable memory." We’ll drink to that! 🥃🐾

So come raise a glass, light up the evening, and enjoy a little Prohibition-style fun with us at the 6th Barks & Bourbon on Thursday, September 17! 🐶🥃

The calendar says September. 🥵 The weather says, “NOT SO FAST!”

Dangerous heat and humidity are sticking around this week, so PLEASE take extra care of your pets and yourself! 🐾❤️
☀️ Keep pets indoors or in a cool, shaded area during the hottest parts of the day.
💧 Make sure they always have PLENTY of fresh, cool water.
🐾 Limit walks and outdoor play, and remember that pavement can get dangerously hot!
🚗 And, of course, never leave a pet in a parked car, even for a few minutes.

Fall will get here eventually. Until then, let's all stay cool, hydrated, and safe! ❤️🐶🐱
