🌙🧙‍♀️ WITCHES NIGHT OUT WEATHER UPDATE! 🧙‍♀️🌙

Well, witches, Mother Nature has decided to make things interesting. Rain, cold, and wind are brewing up a storm, so we’re moving a few things indoors to keep the magic alive! 🌧️💨

Witches Night Out is STILL happening tomorrow night! And here at PIF C***r, we’re even rescheduling our Vinyl Night to make room for all you wonderful witches. (The records can wait. The coven cannot. 🖤)

Here’s the updated plan:

🛍️ 4–8 PM | Downtown Shops Open Late
Cozy up, shop local, and discover something magical.

🧹 4:30–8 PM | Scavenger Hunt
Check in at the rotating vendor shed at Water St. Commons, where you’ll also turn in your completed hunts. Walk it, drive it, or fly it on your broom. We’re flexible like that.

🍻 4:30 PM | Pop-Up Bar at Water St. Commons
Find the bar inside the rotating vendor shed!

🎶 5–8 PM | Charlie Madison at HopSide Brewery
LOCATION CHANGE! Charlie will be playing indoors at HopSide. No musical sacrifices to the weather gods required.

🎧 8–11 PM | DJ Cliff at PIF C***r
LOCATION CHANGE! The after-party is moving INSIDE to PIF C***r! Come dance, sip, and shake off the chill with us. Vinyl Night has been rescheduled so we can welcome the witchy festivities with open arms. 🍎🍻

🏆 8:30 PM | Best Dressed Witch Judging
Bring your most spectacular witchy looks. The weather may be frightful, but your outfits should be downright spellbinding.

🔮 The forecast may be wicked, but the night will still be magical. Grab your boots, your cloaks, your favorite people, and your rain-resistant witchcraft. We’ll see you inside!

PLEASE SHARE!
🍎🔥 WASSAIL FEST IS BACK, BABY! 🔥🍎
Four years of c***r, community, and the beautiful weirdness that makes Presque Isle Farm & C***r what it is. And we’re celebrating the best way we know how: with a whole lot of wassailing. 🍻
Join us Saturday, October 17, starting at noon for our 4th Annual Wassail Fest & Anniversary Party! 🎉
🎶 Live music all day Tali Snowden Charles Adlai Madison Birch Road Band Conor Larkin Music
🌮 Bangarang Tacos bringing the goods
🍎 Small-batch c***r flowing
🍾Archived cellar c***r for sale!
🖤 Good people, good times, and all the autumn magic you can handle
Four years ago, we started this little adventure with big dreams, Michigan apples, and probably an unreasonable amount of optimism. You’ve helped turn it into something bigger than a taproom — a place to gather, make things, hear music, meet your people, and be a little weird together.
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or haven’t made it through our doors yet, we’d love to celebrate with you. Come raise a glass to four years of PIF C***r and help us kick off year five!
📍 Presque Isle Farm & C***r, downtown Alpena
📅 Saturday, October 17 | Doors at noon
Come for the c***r. Stay for the wassail. Leave with stories. 🍻🍎

🚨 IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

After years of careful consideration, extensive planning, and what appears to be several large construction vehicles, we are proud to announce the opening of MT. APPLE NATIONAL PARK, located directly behind Presque Isle Farm C***r.

This breathtaking alpine destination features:
🍎 Unparalleled views of a pile of dirt.
🏔️ Challenging terrain for absolutely no reason.
🍺 Convenient access to award-winning Michigan c***r.
🚗 Ample parking across the street, because we may be mountain people now, but we're not monsters.

Mt. Apple will be making its grand appearance during our 4th Anniversary Party on October 17! Unfortunately, the summit will not be accessible, the parking lot will remain a work in progress, and we cannot guarantee snow.

BUT THE C***R WILL BE FLOWING AND THE PARTY IS ON!

Don't let a little mountain stop you. We've survived four years in business. We can survive a minor geological event.

See you at base camp. 🍻
