This space is designed to give entrepreneurs a resource-rich home base to launch their businesses, build a following, and get a taste of leasing without overwhelming costs or lengthy commitments. 

Lake Trust Credit Union has enthusiastically stepped into the role of Incubator Title Sponsor. In this role, they will not only generously subsidize the first month’s rent for our first 12 Incubator entrepreneurs*, but will also share a wealth of resources and insights at our entrepreneurship events and programsNicole Dietrich will join us TONIGHT to talk about the importance of building a network and share information about Lake Trust’s Micro-Loan program!

Riding for Cancer Awareness…

EFF Cancer

The 3rd Annual EFF Cancer ride took place on Saturday, August 17th to honor those who are battling or have battled cancer. 

Approximately 70 cyclists showed their support, with many dedicating the ride to someone.

Hometownies Colin and Cindy Chisholm organize the event each year. 

“I can tell you that the vibe was phenomenal,” says Colin. “Everyone was touched. So many people took me and Cindy aside to thank us and tell us their story, and they shared their story with others too.”

EFF Cancer Ride

It’s amazing what Hometownies are doing out in the community! It makes us proud!

She joined in our Gravel Grinder shop ride for 13 glorious miles of rough road riding, and then everyone regrouped at the shop for a Monkey Loob demonstration and informational session.

We had an amazing turnout, and everyone got to witness firsthand what a kick-arse cyclist Lyndsay is… and learn why Hometown Bicycles is mad about Monkey Loob!! Thank you, Lyndsay, for sharing your time and knowledge with us!
