This month, The Carrot and Arts On The Ave present The Great Poetry Giveaway.
Keep your eyes open for the big `poetry jar` on the counter at The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse in about a week’s time. Here’s how The Great Poetry Giveaway works. With every coffee purchase, you will receive a poem. The jar will be filled with poems that school children and other community members have written on same size paper, rolled around a pencil, & tied with a ribbon. It will be your free gift just for stopping in and grabbing a coffee! We hope your day will brighten as they read these poems. After you’ve read it, you can take the poem home or leave it with us (to be taped onto a window at the Carrot).
We hope you have as much fun with The Great Poetry Giveaway as we have had putting it together. See you soon at The Carrot (9351 118th ave).

We’ve heard a giant bunny is on his way to eTown, and The Carrot is a prime target for his hunger. We are closing up shop to make sure everyone is safe.
Well, that’s not entirely true. But it is Easter weekend, and The Carrot will be closed for Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. The Carrot will still serve a mean bean on Saturday and the open stage will still run on Saturday as well.
Happy Easter!
