Gnomes Around Shaw = Free Stuff From Sugar Shack Donuts

Dear PoPville readers:

Why aren’t there more gnomes and goats roaming around Shaw? Since we opened our doors a few weeks ago on 9th Street near Nellie’s we’ve noticed that there is a real dearth of gnomes and goats. So we put our donut masters to work to solve this pressing concern.

We love the reception our fresh, store-made donuts and coffee have received. In addition, the excitement for our new, hidden bar, Nocturne, has been amazing.

We picked Shaw for a simple reason. We are strong believers in community and want our hand-made donuts to not just make folks happy, but to also strengthen the community by helping out local causes and group and generally bringing people together. Different types of fried dough brings people together in just about every culture around the world. A good donut should be something you can share with others. Not some frozen or shipped in thing. It should be fresh and from your community. It should help you meet new people. Handing out donuts to people is a pretty great way to make people smile.

Oh right, back to the goats and gnomes. We are inviting you to participate in a little scavenger hunt that runs October 1-31. All around our neighborhood we are hiding little gnomes and goats. If you find one, bring it to us and you’ll get free stuff. It’s that easy and a good way to meet people and enjoy some time outside. You can follow us on Facebook (@SugarShackShaw) or Twitter and Instagram (@SugarShackDMV).

Thanks, and happy hunting.

P.S. This is an advertisement, but if you bring it in our Shaw store this week (print it out or pull it up on your phone), we’ll give you a free house donut, as long as we don’t run out. Only one per person so we can spread the donut goodness.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
