FUTURE THINGS ARE COMING >>>

There's a little mom and pop store on the corner of the Wildwood building in the South Capitol neighborhood - next to where Oly Coffee Roasters is opening a new cafe - that's catering to a variety of costumer needs.

Spud's Produce Market opened last August, specializing in, you guessed it, produce. Offering a wide variety of fruit and veggies at comparable to box store prices, and often cheaper, as well as a healthy selection of Johnson's meats, treats from San Francisco Street Bakery and a cold section with a few dairy products and a lot of good beer, Spud's knows what Olympians need.

They also know how to throw a good party.

This Thursday, Spud's invites you to attend their third cooking demo (including samples!) with Lacey Waltermeyer of Purely Balanced Personal Training and Nutritional Therapy, as well as a beer and wine tasting, with samples of four beers and four wines for just $1.

Fort George Brewery out of Astoria, Ore. will be featured as well as tastes from Lake Chelan Winery. Representatives will be on hand to answer questions and introduce flavors.

Spud's co-owner Dave Jekel will be playing host. He says past events have brought in 50-70 people. 

SPUD'S PRODUCE MARKET, THURSDAY, JAN 17, 5-7 P.M., $1, 2828 CAPITOL BLVD. S., OLYMPIA, 360.915.9763
