 AUGUST. ISSUE 100. 2021
Marcels Culinary Experience
It's the height of summer in August and there is still plenty of time to enjoy warm days and balmy nights, evenings on the patio and s'mores around the firepit. Don't let the craze of back to school readiness rob you of your chance to enjoy the last remaining weeks of summer fun.
 
At Marcel's, we're continuing to celebrate summer with fun events around town and seasonal cooking classes that make summer feel a bit longer. We're also sharing a few of our newest local finds and retail partners. Be sure to read about them below. 
 
And most importantly, take time to breathe in the warm air, step outside and go for a walk or visit with a friend over wine and cheese at Marché. Soon the weather will turn and we'll be longing once more for these hot summer days.
