e are just a few weeks away from the first day of autumn. Our children have returned to their various schools and I am saddened by the delay in the opening of Orchard Springs Elementary. I personally have 2 grandchildren that will be attending the new school, so I hope that the Weber School District and the contractor can reach a speedy conclusion and that we can have our children attending this beautiful new school as quickly as possible. Please watch It is going to be a wonderful addition to our out for students community.
and remember to obey the school zones and watch out for the crossing guards.
Now speaking of children and school, please remember as you are hurrying to get to work or to the store or wherever you are going that you watch out for these students. Remember to obey the school zones and watch out for the crossing guards. Do drive like their lives depend on you. Because they do!
I have had several of you reach out to me and ask that I include a plea to each of you to please follow the traffic laws. Speeding is of a particular concern, not just on major roads, but on neighbor roads as well. Please slow down and obey the law. The speed limit through our neighborhoods is 25 mph. Please, please, please obey the law! Hopefully, many of you had an opportunity to attend the Weber County Fair and see the community booths in the exhibit hall. Pleasant View took 3rd place overall, but we won the People’s Choice Award for the 2nd straight year. The award that the attendees of the fair vote for. It was such a fun display. I hope that many of you had a chance to view it. To all of you, thanks for caring, thanks for all you do, and thanks for being good neighbors. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure that we remain the best place to not only grow up, but the best place to grow old. Mayor Leonard Call

HISTORY
Pleasant View’s Leadoff Beekeeper HISTORY WRITTEN BY DIANA JOHNS HIGLEY, ARTICLE WRITTEN BY HAILEY MINTON
D
avid John, son of John John and Margaret Thomas, was one of the first men in Pleasant View to own bees. Reuben T. Rhees bought his first swarm of bees from him in the fall of 1895 or 1896 for three dollars and Arthur G. Pledger also got his first bees from him. Both men at various times were President of the State Bee Association and were very successful in the bee business. The John family had a lot of choice fruit trees, vegetables, and garden produce which made it even more beneficial to have their own bees helping to pollinate. David gave much of his attention to the production of the various crops. He was especially good at selecting the right crops for the different types of soil. He took pride in eradicating the weeds that popped up and it was his goal to make his property “blossom as the rose.” Diana Johns Higley said, “We as children remember that it was on top of the old bee shed that our fruit was put to dry before bottles could be bought to put it in for winter.” Their mother would stew the blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and wild

strawberries for a few moments before putting them in regular dinner plates out on the bee shed to dry in the sun. “When dry, mother would carefully put them away and in the winter [she] would recook and sweeten them with honey if she didn’t have sugar, and oh how nice they were. I can still remember the flavor.” Not only did they use their own honey to sweeten their foods, but they used it to preserve their fruit when they didn’t have sugar. There seems to be quite a number of local residents who raise their own bees today. If you go to the Ogden Farmer’s Market you’ll see a number of vendors selling their home harvested honey. Did you know there are different flavors of honey? Where the bee boxes are placed makes a big difference in the look and flavor of the honey. If the bees visit buckwheat flowers, the honey is very dark. If the bee boxes are placed in a carrot seed producing field, the honey will have a deep amber color, the aroma is reminiscent of chocolate, and it tastes earthier than the clover honey readily available at Costco! It’s the same with blueberry, blackberry, and other fields where a certain variety of blossom are easily accessible for the bees.

My trip to the White House on July 18, 2019 we competed in and talked with us for a bit. He asked us some questions about our experiences. There were so many cameras and reporters! Afterwards, I got to shake President Trump’s hand. I told him that my brother said to tell him: “Hi.” The President said: “Tell him ‘hi’ back.” I shook hands with Vice President Pence, as well. I also got to shake hands with His Excellency Yousef Al Otaiba, United Arab Emirates Ambassador to the United States. I told him it was a pleasure to meet him and that my sister wants to live in Dubai. He said: “Tell your sister that we will gladly take her!” He asked me if my family got to come to the World Games.

HISTORY
The Early Tin Lizzies of North Ogden
North Ogden has been shaped by the invention of the automobile for over 100 years BY HAILEY MINTON, HISTORY PROVIDED BY THE NORTH OGDEN HISTORICAL MUSEUM
Automobiles have been shaping North Ogden for over 100 years and I’m sure everyone is ready for the expansion of the 2600 North intersection to ease the traffic congestion we experience today! Yes, vehicles brought astounding levels of traffic with them, but imagine if we were still commuting around at 10 – 15 miles per hour behind a trotting horse? Also, we wouldn’t have highways or nearly as many durable paved roads in cities without the invention of the automobile. The 1919 Model T Ford was one of the first automobiles in North Ogden. Claude Ellis accounted that he courted his-wife-to-be in a horse drawn rubber-tired buggy for three years when there were only two automobiles in North Ogden. These horseless carriages were unlike anything people had seen before. The automobile got the nickname “Tin Lizzy” because Lizzy was a common name for a horse and a horseless carriage was the most familiar thing the people could associate with it. Above top: J. Parley Spackman delivering goods in his 1935 Ford. Above: Grace Montgomery and Wiliam Orton are shown in a Model T Ford in 1920.
The people of North Ogden utilized the invention of the vehicle to push the economy forward. J. Parley Spackman
had a mercantile store at 2596 North 400 East and he used this 1935 Ford to sell and deliver groceries, fabric, tobacco, hardware, and farming supplies. He also bartered by trading items farmers needed for produce and eggs. You can see his two digit phone number painted on the side of the car which was normal for the time since telephones were also a new gadget. You can read our story about early telephones in our July issue for some fun stories about what that was like! Although Fords weren’t the first vehicles ever produced, they were the most common because of the efficiency in building them on an assembly line. One of North Ogden’s most prominent fruit growers, Charles Hall, owned a Jeep. He had over 100 acres of fruit farm and he surely used his it to get around all that land to pick and haul his fruit. 15 million of Ford’s Model T cars were produced from 19081927 with very few changes in design. On October 1, 1908 the first production of these vehicles were completed and the vehicles had a top speed of 45 mph. A vehicle sold for $825 in 1908 which is roughly equivalent to $22,000 today according to the data available at various inflation calculator websites.
FUN FACT: Did you know Karl Benz is generally acknowledged as the inventor of the modern car according to Ralph Stein in his book The Automobile Book? 14 CONNECTIONPUBLISHING | September 2019

Coldwater Creek RESTORATION BY RYAN SPELTS
This small creek is a habitat to several species of fish, and needs your help.
F
Second is an abundant supply of food, third is shelter from predators and fourth is gravel beds to lay eggs on. Cold Water Creek has all of these.
When Spencer Alexander moved into his new North Ogden home 3 years ago, he was excited to have the Coldwater Creek running along his back yard. As a fisherman, he wondered if there were any fish in this little creek. To his surprise, not only were there fish but there were large rainbow, brown and tiger trout living right in his back yard. It takes some very simple things for a quality trout habitat to exist. First is clean cold water year round, between 45 to 65 degrees.
However if you are like me, you might be wondering… “Where is Cold Water Creek?” I knew vaguely it ran through the park by Green Acres Elementary and that was about it. My son and his friends had actually caught a fish there a few years ago, with a rigged up fishing pole (line tied to a stick) but that was all I knew. The challenge is this creek is often viewed as a ditch by developers and has been covered over in many places so houses and roads could be built. It actually runs from the Cold Springs at the Cold Spring Trout Farm then down roughly through the middle of North Ogden and eventually out to the Harrisville Pond.
ounded in Michigan in 1959, Trout Unlimited was formed as a nonprofit that today has over 300,000 members in North America. Their goal is to conserve, protect and restore North America’s cold water fisheries and their watersheds. They are considering helping restore a fish habitat right here in North Ogden, but they need our help.

Rainbow trout caught from Coldwater Creek
Unfortunately there have been abuses of the creek and development has encroached on its path and serenity. Spencer came home one day to find the creek roughly the color of skim milk and was worried about his prized fish habitat. Come to find out a construction company was washing out their concrete truck upstream polluting the water all the way down. Unfortunately this is because it is often viewed simply as a ditch. Much of the water runs through private land and is inaccessible to visitors and fishing aficionados. There are various areas where it could be accessed, but those areas are not maintained and are full of noxious weeds and stinging nettle. Spencer and a group of conservationists and fishermen are seeking the help of North Ogden City, its residents and Trout Unlimited to restore and preserve the future of this beautiful naturally cold water fishery. Trout Unlimited Representative,
Paul Burnett gave a list of recommendations of what needs to be done to maintain and protect this habitat which can be found online at the link below. I agree with Spencer that we should make the effort to restore and maintain what we have for a beautiful walking path and fishing locale. The group hopes to maintain the size of the fish and keep stocks high. Making the creek a catch and release waterway where only artificial flies and lures are to be used will help make this possible. I joined Spencer a couple of Saturdays ago and brought my fly rod. I caught 3 beautiful and big fish. One was a large rainbow that would fit on my top ten list. It was great fun. We were also joined by Chad Roylance who owns a local plumbing company but is also a photography and videography enthusiast on the side. We captured some of the underwater scenes you see depicted here and there are more photos online.

in his father’s words had grown up to be exactly what a father hopes his son to become; good, kind, loving, giving, a patriot and God fearing. Elliot was 31 at the time of his death. He was in the process of a divorce and is the father of an 8 month old boy. The family finds some peace in the fact that he sent a text with pictures of him traveling with a Catholic Chaplain that he and his mother both knew and his father has come to know electronically. He said in the message that he knew God was aware of him and was grateful to have had the chance to meet up with the chaplain. That was on Wednesday and Elliot was killed on Saturday. Details surrounding his death are not available because the information is classified and will be for the foreseeable future.
Remembering ELLIOTT ROBBINS A loving son, Green Beret, father, hero and friend that lost his life in the line of duty in Afghanistan BY RYAN SPELTS
Adrienne Robbins reminisces as she looks at a picture of her small children with 3 handsome boys and a beautiful daughter. Her son Elliot (2nd of 4 sons/7 children) has an angelic smile on his face in the picture however, he was poised and ready to painfully pinch his older brother immediately after the picture was taken. He could be such a rascal. Elliot had an atypically high IQ and a penchant for being a tease but he was also a charming, loving, and generous man. This particular picture was taken before they completed their family with three additional children for a total of 7. Sergeant 1st Class Elliot Robbins passed in the Afghanistan war zone June 30, 2019 (Afghanistan time). He was the top medic in his Green Beret Special Forces company. Elliot,
20 CONNECTIONPUBLISHING | September 2019
His funeral service was held last month at St. James the Just Catholic Church in Ogden. It was attended by many local residents as well as dignitaries. The military understands that the loss of just one soldier is too many and they have been incredibly kind to the Robbins family. As part of the service many of Elliot’s friends from his military service wrote out stories about him and gave or sent them to his family. Major Todd Mori was Elliot’s company commander and Battalion Executive Officer, most recently. Mori said, “Elliot was an unbelievable medic and Green Beret. His compassion and dedication to the mission and to his teammates was incomparable to anyone else. There are countless times this year where Elliot was credited with saving the lives of his fellow teammates, Afghan Commandos and civilians. About two months ago, Elliot and his team were on a mission with their Afghan partners in southern Afghanistan when a Taliban heavy machine gun opened up on them. This was followed by small arms fire and one member of the US patrol being wounded. The US Soldier lay wounded in the open and was exposed to enemy fire and was unable to get to cover. Elliot, without hesitation, went to get him. But because of how severe the wound was, Elliot had to treat him where he lay. The volume of fire from Taliban picked up and impacted all around and within inches of Elliot and wounded infantryman. When Elliot saw this, he put himself Remembering his son between the wounded and the enemy to provide Elliot had grown up to cover while he treated be exactly what a father him. After he treated the hopes his son to become: wound and while his team good, kind, loving, giving, a provided suppressive fire, Elliot carried him patriot, and God fearing. back to where the rest -Lieutenant Colonel of his team was. CPL Freeman Robbins Anderson, the wounded
infantryman is alive today because of Elliot’s actions. Elliot was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for Valor for his actions in this battle. I also see heroism in Elliot in how he treated his family. His youngest sibling Beatrix is a student at Weber High and works at the McDonalds on Washington and 2600 N. This is a tradition of the Robbins Family as each one of their children has worked at that McDonalds including Elliot. She considers Elliot one of her best friends. She loved how he teased her and gave her grief but was a loving and doting big brother. One time he taught her how to do an IV. He even let her practice on himself. After removing the IV from his arm Beatrix got a little flustered looking for a small connector and left her brother bleeding. He said, “Hey, I’m bleeding over here!” She panicked a little and pulled the tourniquet off which didn’t help and Elliot calmly showed her how to bandage the wound and help stop the bleeding. Of course he never let her live that one down. He also showed her how to shoot, including the safe use of firearms which she really loved. One day while he was in Afghanistan he saw that someone said unkind things about his sister on Facebook. He instantly messaged them and told them to remove their comments within 24 hours or else! It was gone in 2 hours. He sent his mom to Germany on an allexpense paid trip for a month as a way to say I love you and sorry for being so difficult. His father Lieutenant Colonel Freeman Robbins shared one of his favorite stories about Elliot as told to him by Alan Fickling, who served with Elliot and spoke at his Memorial Service at Ft. Carson. He loved this story because it showed his son's sense of humor and his sense of protectiveness. “Elliot watched as another student was berated for having a penlight malfunction during the test with no backup. In the time honored Q course tradition, the cadre took it a little overboard. Insulting the student’s
competency as a medic and soldier for not carrying two penlights at all times. Most of us saw it, made a mental note to make sure our penlights worked the next day, and left it at that. Elliot thought the lecture was ridiculous, and to prove a point in “Elliot fashion,” he showed up the next day with a giant rack of penlights weaved in where his magazine pouches should have been. He ran his graded clinic wearing 14 pen lights on his body armor. And every time he used one, he would toss it casually aside when he was done and reach for the next one. It can be a fine line between confidence and arrogance but Elliot had the skill to back it up. Plus the willingness to stand out, speak his mind, and crack jokes while doing it led him to be the honor grad of his Q course” said Fickling. Elliot Jerome Robbins was born at Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla, California, August 18, 1987, to Adrienne Marie Robbins and Freeman Earl Robbins, Jr. The family moved to Martinez, Georgia in 1988 when Freeman was assigned to Ft. Gordon. In 1989 Mom and children went back to San Diego for a few months, while Dad stayed at Ft. Gordon then went to Jump School at Ft. Benning, GA. He was then assigned to the 72nd Signal Battalion in Germany. Later that year Adrienne and kids joined Dad in Germany. The family lived and went to school in Karlsruhe, Germany for 13 years. Each of the children speak fluent German. One time while they were traveling and visiting Universal Studios in Germany, Elliot, though quite young, teased his father about his “less than good” German. He ended up translating for his father. A sign of his high level of intelligence was his fluency in German and then he also learned Russian. These both led to
Remembering the soldier
“Elliot was an unbelievable medic and Green Beret. His compassion and dedication to the mission and to his teammates was incomparable to anyone else. There are countless times this year where Elliot was credited with saving the lives of his fellow teammates, Afghan Commandos and civilians. -Major Todd Mori assisting his military career. At age 8 he was in a chess club and could often beat college students. Elliot dropped out of school during his junior year at Weber High school which was hard for his family to see. However, he later talked to an Army recruiter who told him that without a degree, he couldn’t join the military. Elliot figured out how to get his GED and immediately joined the Military. After a somewhat tumultuous youth, Elliot became a great man and an influential leader. His family will greatly miss him in this life and look forward to a reunion in the life to come. With a tear in her eye, his mom said, “You think you get 84 years…but that is not always true, sometimes you only get 32.”
If you would like to help the family as a matter of contribution, there is a Memorial Fund set up at America First Credit Union in honor of Elliot Robbins.

Certified Hypnotherapy Training School BY RYAN SPELTS
After using hypnotherapy techniques himself, Dennis Parker became a hypnotherapist and also runs a training school.
D
ennis Parker was an angry man, and becoming out of control. He could even become violent. He didn’t know why he was angry, but he was. INFO Working as a Business: Training commissioned Address: 1980 North sales person, 2000 West-FarrWest Dennis was Phone:(801) 628-0693 attempting to support a family with 11 children. Many people didn’t want to buy from an angry sales person, so it wasn’t going well. Dennis’ sister told him about a Hypnotherapist, who worked with such behaviors and felt she could help him. He went to start hypnotherapy. During the session, they discovered that the root to his anger issues was because his sister was killed 18 years previously. He had never released the emotions he had regarding her death and it was manifesting as anger. Under the treatment of his Hypnotherapist, he released all of that anger and it changed him completely. He was a new man. He was so moved by this treatment, he started to study hypnotherapy so he too could become a certified clinical hypnotherapist. Today, 30 years later, Dennis runs two hypnotherapy businesses. First as a
clinical hypnotherapist helping people overcome: anxiety, fears and phobias, self-limiting beliefs, non-medical solutions for ADD and ADHD, Pain control and migraines. He can also help people with debilitating maladaptive behaviors like pornography or selfabuse, sleeping difficulties, weight loss issues, smoking, gambling and addiction to electronic games. He particularly loves that he has helped hundreds of youth prepare for and successfully serve missions.
challenges that can be at the root of problem behavior. By addressing the emotional problems and releasing them from the subconscious, the problem behaviors or symptoms go away. It is not just for maladaptive behaviors though. He can also help athletes and salespeople perform at their highest level by learning to manage their minds through what are called ‘The Emotional Skills and Tools of Positive Mind Management’.
Now this is not the carnival trick of hypnosis you may have seen at a state or county fair. This is the use of deep relaxation and meditation, called entering a trance-pondering state, under the guidance of a hypnotherapist to access the subconscious mind and to address and overcome the emotional pains harbored there. These states and forms of hypnosis are only used for clinical therapy, not entertainment. The second business is a Certified Hypnotherapy Training School for would-be hypnotherapists. The school is a postsecondary proprietary School of Hypnotherapy in the State of Utah, registered and bonded with the Department of Commerce. It is a professional trade school. Students are trained in hypnosis, self-hypnosis, suggestion hypnotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy and PPM Skills. The school’s motto is they are ‘helping people, help other people’. Hypnosis is really just a controlled deep meditative state where a hypnotherapist can assist the client address emotional
After helping thousands of people, Dennis felt he could help many more by founding a school. The school is located in Farr West, Utah where students can attend in person, or watch a live broadcast online from anywhere. Certified Hypnotherapy Training School offers course training for 20 different modalities. Students must complete 300 hours of schooling to become certified, 120 hours of live classes and the remainder are available through an online database of 1800 hours of content. Hypnotherapists in training can choose areas of specialty like pain control, addiction, abuse, working with children or other areas of focus. If you are interested in exploring an education and career as a hypnotherapist, the next course starts September 10th. Students can take and retake the classes as many times as needed so they can learn at their own pace. Be competent, be effective and be confident as you become a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist through Certified Hypnotherapy Training School.

Join us at our Open House for IntegraLaw BY GARRETT T. SMITH
I am opening a new law firm called IntegraLaw. I will be having an open house for IntegraLaw at our office located at 238 25th Street in Ogden on Thursday, September 26th, from 6:00-8:30 p.m. We will be raffling off gift cards at 6:30, 7:30, and 8:30. The raffle is free to enter, but you must be present to win. I will explain more about IntegraLaw’s founding principles later on so please read to the end. At the beginning of the year I wrote an article about forming a business to limit your personal liability. I mentioned the importance of using the correct business structure and ensuring that you do not commingle personal and business funds. This article goes further into the tax benefits that are available through a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”). One of the amazing benefits of using a LLC to run your business is the tax election option. Single-member LLCs are, by default, classified as disregarded entities and taxed as a sole proprietorship for income tax purposes. Multi-member LLCs are, by default, classified as partnerships and taxed as such. However, both single and multi-
member LLCs have the option to elect to be taxed as a corporation by filing the appropriate forms with the IRS. Being taxed as an S-Corporation provides various options for more favorable tax treatment. If you are forming a new business or feel that electing a different tax option may benefit you, don’t hesitate to give me a call! It has been a pleasure working with the Peace Legal law firm over the last couple years. The owner of Peace Legal has decided to move in a different direction and close down his firm. I formed IntegraLaw with the intent to not only ensure that my clients have continued representation, but to carry Peace Legal’s mission of being a refreshingly different type of law firm. We’ve all heard the famous line from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, “What’s in a name?” Although we can’t judge a person or entity by its name alone, we often choose names as a way of conveying a message or instilling a desired principle. IntegraLaw is founded on three pillars.
INTEGRATION. We integrate our services with technology allowing our clients further access to their cases. We
integrate business owners into the economy by limiting liability and securing positive relationships with employees, contractors, and other Attorney Garrett T. Smith business partners. We integrate new family relationships and custody arrangements for our clients when divorce cannot be avoided.
INTEGRITY. We maintain the highest level of integrity as individual attorneys and as a firm. We are dedicated to responding quickly and honestly to our clients’ questions.
INTEGRAL SOLUTIONS. We zealously search for the integral solutions to each case and focus on doing what is in our client’s best interest. I hope you will join us on Thursday, September 26th, for IntegraLaw’s open house!

Understanding Umbrella Insurance POSTED BY ADDIE B.- ACUITY
What is umbrella or excess liability insurance? A simple definition is that it’s an insurance policy that provides coverage above and beyond your auto and home policy limits—think of it as an umbrella over the top of those other coverages.* Here are a few examples to help explain:
1. Your dog runs out of the house and
viciously attacks a neighbor who was going for a walk and minding her own business. Your neighbor sues you to cover her medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.
2. Your daughter gets into a fight at
school and punches another girl, breaking her nose. The girl’s parents sue you.
3. You cause a 10-car accident and
your auto insurance property damage coverage isn’t high enough to pay for all 10 accident victims’ replacement vehicles. Nor is your personal liability coverage high enough to pay for their medical bills.
4. You send sandwiches to your son’s
school for a field trip lunch. Several students become sickened with food poisoning and their parents sue you.
5. Your teenager throws a party at your house while you’re out of town. Someone brings alcohol to the party, and one of the party guests gets arrested for driving under the influence on the way home. You get sued.
While these examples may be covered by your standard policy limits, there is potential that the damages awarded in a lawsuit could cause these numbers to get quite large. If you are found responsible for higher-sum injuries or damages, your coverage limits may not be enough. If you do not have enough coverage on your home or auto policy, you would be responsible for the difference. If you have an umbrella policy, it would kick in when your primary policy limit is exhausted or if your primary policy does not provide coverage and the umbrella does. Umbrella insurance provides peace of mind, knowing you are protected with higher limits and broader coverage.
UMBRELLA INSURANCE is extra liability insurance coverage that goes beyond the limits of the insured's home, auto or watercraft insurance.

Grandma Moutray’s Peanut Butter Cookies BY MELISSA SPELTS
Going to Grandma’s house is always the best. Especially when Grandma is on the cookie warpath. I loved smelling the delicious scents that accompanied some of my Grandma’s famous cookies. Even if she wasn’t cooking when we showed up, there was always a collection of cookie jars that were always filled with something yummy. A few of the cookie jars played music when you opened them, which meant it was hard to sneak a cookie. When my siblings and I would sleep over, we would try and figure out a way to sneak a cookie without getting caught. We usually failed and would just go to bed. This recipe is one of the favorites, we could often find these in a jar and they are amazing with a tall glass of milk. 1 c. butter softened 1 c. peanut butter 1 c. sugar 1 c. firmly packed brown sugar 2 eggs 2 ½ c. flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 ½ tsp. baking soda Preheat oven to 375°. Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs. Add dry ingredients. Stir it well. Cover bowl and refrigerate batter for 1 hour. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Flatten balls with a fork. Bake about 10 minutes or until lightly brown. Do not over bake.

My Husband tried the mouth-watering Red Velvet cookie topped with cream cheese frosting along with the soft pretzel dipped in cheese sauce. With my sensitive stomach I tried their Purple Rain Water which was very unique and refreshing flavored water. I not only love the food and drinks at Fiiz, but FUN HANG OUT Fiiz offers a also their safe and fun place for youth. desire to bring the youth in the community together in a fun and safe environment. They also love employing so many of the youth in the community and seek to reward their hard-working employees with a gift card and the coveted title of Employee of the Month.

Fiiz Drinks North Ogden store #14
IT'S NOT JUST ALL DRINKS! Fiiz features delicious cookies, soft pretzels and more!
Something else I thought was pretty cool about Fiiz is they even have a hidden menu (shh! Yes, a secret menu!) But, if you want to be in on the secret, follow them on Instagram where they post a “secret” item every week, something not found on the regular menu. Cool huh? They also offer a reward system, for every $1.00 you spend, you earn 5 points, which can be redeemed on any item on the menu and used anytime. Those points can add up pretty quickly. They even offer Door Dash which allows you to order your drinks and food from work or home, saving you time, and in some cases, your sanity. For the love of FIIZ, if you haven’t been……. what are you waiting for?
