PITA PARTY TIME!!!
For just over a year, I threw a rambunctious Pita Party in the backyard of Collage Coffee every Wednesday morning. What started as a pop-up idea grew into a family of pita loving friends, dogs, and babies.
The pandemic really stopped us in our tracks. How could we gather together, mandhandle our food, and openly engage when what we really needed for the safety or ourselves and others was to hit pause on all of that?
I miss the pita parties and all of you who came and scarfed pita with us. Until we can gather again - we can gawk at these photos and take a trip down Pita Party memory lane ....
