Design lovers will appreciate the work of Nerdy Kitten LLC with their colorful leather art and prints, and Mixtape Your Life brings retro attitude to accessories inspired by music and pop culture. Natural Selections offers a mixed-media experience with items ranging from insect taxidermy to tumbled glass mosaics, while Good Spirits Vintage curates nostalgic treasures for the home.

Noon Whistle will also be pouring a limited-run beer: Brewed for Battle, an amber ale made with brown sugar and vanilla. This beer was brewed in honor of a close friend of the brewery battling oligometastatic cancer. She helped name the beer, inspire the label, and share her strength with every pint. “Cheers, love, and support to all those out there fighting the same or similar battles,” shared the brewery.
