This Season at Cap's, we've hosted over 50 events at the shop, and we saved the best for last! One of our favorite events of the year is happening this Saturday: Music and Magic in the Park! If you are around this weekend, you don't want to miss out. The extremely talented Nicole Armold will perform a sing-along from 2-2:45 pm, and the famous MAGIC-AL, all the way from New York City, will put on a magic show from 3- 4 pm that will leave you awestruck!

To round out the weekend, Discount Vinyl will be performing for our final Concert in the Park series from 5-7 pm. It's a weekend filled with dancing, singing, a sprinkle of magic, and a whole lot of ice cream!

We want to give a huge thanks to our Summer Sponsors, who make it possible to put on all these events for the community. Nicolas and Associates, Kelly Janowiak & Laura Parisi - Legacy Group, and Mark Kloss, thank you so much!
