(Seguin) – A local business is celebrating its one-year anniversary by giving back to a Seguin non-profit. Pecantown Books and Brews is inviting the community over this Saturday as it celebrates its first full year of doing business in downtown Seguin.
Owner Tess Coody-Anders says serving as the bookstore’s honoring guest and beneficiary will be Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin.
“We’ve been really proud to partner with Teatro since the beginning. Our missions are very similar in the sense that preserving culture and advancing ideas and building connections are critical to healthy communities and we believe that connecting from downtown to Teatro and back again is important to those missions,” said Coody-Anders.
Coody-Anders says to celebrate, a host of events will be offered from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday.
“That afternoon we are blessed to have performances from Teatro with both Mariachi and Ballet Folklorico performances and we are super excited to host them here. Our friends at Artable Curiosities will be on hand doing spin art with kids outside under the shade trees and of course, the main event will be the roundup of incredible artists who have donated original pieces for our silent auction and the proceeds of that auction will go to benefit Teatro and its missions,” said Anders.
Although it’s been open a little more than a year on the calendar, Anders says it was important that they celebrate their anniversary as a community.
“The last year has been incredible in terms of community support and enthusiasm. People are finding connections with each other, with books and ideas, with great new foods that they’ve never tried before and we are really proud to be a part of that in downtown Seguin,” said Anders.
The public is also invited out Friday for singer/songwriter Dylan Reilly who will be performing original folk and country songs from 5 to 7 p.m.
Pecantown Books and Brews is located at 212 S. Camp St.
