Pizza, Bikes & Beer Here This Wednesday

Posted on February 15, 2016 by Shaun
Pizza and Jamis Bicycles - A Clinic-Party at Hometown Bicycles
YOU’RE INVITED TO A JAMIS CLINIC-PARTY COMBO THIS WEDNESDAY!
This Wednesday, February 17, from 6-9pm, we’re hosting a pizza-and-beer clinic celebration that combines the best of Jamis, bike smarts, and cyclist sustenance.

Come out and meet Tom, our uber-awesome Jamis rep, who’ll be sharing insider industry scoops, cool Jamis facts, and answering any questions you might have about the company and the bikes.

You’ll also hear from Shaun about why, when we had an opportunity to carry any bike brand, we determined that Jamis would rock our customers’ worlds and help support the industry we love. The answers may surprise you.

Everyone is welcome – the Jamis owners, the Jamis newbies, and the simply Jamis curious. Bring your family; bring your friends; bring your neighbors; bring your coworkers. What better way to spend a wintery Wednesday evening than surrounded by bikes, connecting with fellow cyclists, and relaxing with a full belly?

REGISTER NOW TO ATTEND OUR “WHY JAMIS?” CLINIC-PARTY
We appreciate your early registration, so that we can make sure there’s enough food for all!
Hometown Bicycles loves Jamis Bicycles

IMMEDIATE CALL FOR STUDENT BICYCLE ARTWORK

Hometown Bicycles Student Art Program
If you’re harboring one or more artistically talented kindergarteners through 12th-graders in your home, here’s a chance to showcase their talent at Hometown!

Our Brighton High School student art display has enlivened the shop and inspired our customers for over a month now, but it’s time to return the artwork to their creators (except for the ones that sold, of course!)

There’s been an amazing response to our Student Art Program from our community’s schools, and you’ll be seeing a whole lot more student creativity in the coming months. But while those students are hard at work, creating their masterpieces for display, our walls will be sitting vacant…

… UNLESS …

Unless your budding artist would like to showcase their bicycle art at our shop NOW!

Artwork can be any medium, but must be ABOUT bicycles or MADE OF bicycle parts. Your student may put it up for sale if they want to – they’d keep 100% of the proceeds!

If interested, email a picture of the artwork for approval (we’re a family-friendly shop, so it’s got to be positive, clean, and angst-free), along with your student’s name and grade level, to office@myhometownbicycles.com.

SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH.  Please drop off approved artwork by Friday, February 5th, so that we can make its display spectacular!

(Student art from Brighton High School on display in our Community Room!)
WE’RE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!

We’re putting out a challenge to the schools in our community – to have their art students (drawing, painting, metalwork, pottery, you-name-it-we’ll-take-it) create bicycle artwork to display in our shop. Many of these pieces will be for sale, AND (this is important)…

100% OF STUDENT ART SALES GOES DIRECTLY
TO THE STUDENT WHO CREATED IT!

This is a chance for budding artists to get some real-world business experience and public exposure for their art.

A special kudos goes out to Maureen Ray and her Brighton High School art studentsfor being the first to accept the challenge! Come and check out their imaginative artwork at our shop. Maybe you’ll see something that you’ll want to take home!

Want to see YOUR kids’ artwork at Hometown? Connect with your school art teacher, and have them contact Dawn at office@myhometownbicycles.com or (810) 225-2441. Any school, any age level; it’s never too early to support a love for art and bicycles!
