Rewind for a Reason
Two boomboxes. A whole lot of cassette tapes. One community cause.
Come recapture the 80s and 90s while helping us build an enclosure for the community fridge at Abi's Books & Brews! So much of what we do in the community is connected to our nonprofit, the Milena Chapter. We'll draw two winners on November 1, 2026 at 6 PM, live at Abi's and streamed online. Each winner receives one boombox, gets to choose two tapes, and receives a random share of the remaining cassette collection. All proceeds support our community fridge efforts, starting with the enclosure. Extra funds help support the fridge and keep it stocked. Tickets are $5 each, with no ticket limit. You do not have to be present to win!
