10 Speed East

December is here again and there is SO much going on in our bustling little town!

We got a little behind and so here are some of the pictures from our annual Halloween party… 

We hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving with lots of good food, friends and family, and safe travels if you went anywhere.

If you see a new person behind the counter, it’s Dana! (Unfortunately no pictures available.) She’s a local Mosierite. Welcome!

We will be closing early Christmas Eve (Saturday Dec. 24th) at about 2pm and we will be CLOSED Sunday (Christmas Day) December 25th AND Sunday, January 1st (New Year’s Day).

We have three big events to put in the calendar and a ton of local options for gift giving.

32nd Annual Mosier Country Christmas Fair, Saturday December 3rd from 10am-5pm and Sunday the 4th from 10am-4pm

Want to see what your neighbors can do? Still need to do a little holiday shopping for that perfect gift? Over 60 local area vendors share their quality arts and crafts at the Mosier School during this weekend. Wander through room after room full of crafty crafts and baked goods… yummy smells and lots of creativity! Admission is $2 and 1 can of food (human or cat), which is donated to the local Christmas Charity and Home at Last Animal Shelter. Free Admission for children under 12. (www.mosierschool.com for more info) Santa will even be making an appearance, so make sure you have your Christmas list and check it twice!

10 Speed Xmas Party, Sunday December 18th, from 6pm -8pm-ish
Bring something special for the White Elephant gift exchange. This means something from around your house that you don’t want anymore; something useful/fun… be creative… This is an all ages party, so please plan accordingly and bring your gift, wrapped. Snacks will be provided, and there will be a dinner special and tasty beverages available for purchase. Feel free to bring your musical instruments and carol-singing voices!

December Open Mics, Sundays- December 4th and 11th, from 4pm-8pm
Bring your instruments! Sign up now at the shop for your time slot. Dinner and drink specials!

Buy local!
We recently got another shipment of Resource Revival goodies in for the holidays (bottle openers, bracelets, and new magnets): all $10 or less. Makes great stocking stuffers. There are also very cool bicycle chain picture frames!

The Mosier School kids also have their beautiful holiday cards for sale. They feature the stained glass windows the kids made last year and, of course, all the proceeds help out the school.

We also have Penny’s handmade ceramic mugs which you can have personally engraved, Doug’s Cambell Creek Farm Honey, a variety of James and Lisa’s Springhouse Wine from Hood River,  Jim Reed’s “Bee’s Reprieve”, which is a Marechal Foch wine made from local organic grapes (Columbia Blossom Organic Orchards), and Wes’ Rock Creek Designs glass works.) He will also have a booth at the Mosier School Christmas Fair.

If you’re looking for 10 Speed merch, Jan Byrkit just brought in another round of long sleeved and also women’s cut 10-Speed East shirts. We also have coffee tins, gift certificates, to-go travel mugs, coffee beans by the pound and half pound, and 10 Speed growlers!

Mosier Christmas Baskets

It’s that time of year again! The Mosier Christmas Basket committee is collaborating with agencies in Hood River and The Dalles to bring Holiday giving and good cheer to local families. Support our community by providing a gift for a Mosier child! Come in to 10 Speed and look for the Christmas tree.  Choose a tag from the tree and check the information on the card. Follow the instructions on the tag given for the child and for returning the gift.  Phone number provided for any questions…

One last note, if you haven’t checked us out on Facebook yet, we have a page! Look up “10 Speed East” Updated pictures coming soon.

Mosier Farmers’ Market continues outside thru September on Sundays from 4 – 7pm. Live music and fresh cooked dinner specials each week.

We have a new menu coming soon! The panninis are going away but we’ll have more salads & sandwiches plus a soup each day.  This should make things faster and get those coffees out even quicker.

Double Mountain is on both taps this month. We can’t help it -we’re completely smitten and we’re pretty sure our new growlers have fallen in love.

New art by George Shepard a long-time local with an interest in Native American history.

And finally, our little Thomas is starting kindergarden at the fabulous Mosier School (hey parents, feel free to drop by after your drop-off).

We’ve been busy these days soaking up the sun and putting our outdoor stage to good use.  If you haven’t stopped by for the Mosier Farmers’ Market then you might be surprised at the transformation of our parking lot from 4 – 7pm. Between the live music, events, and our dinner specials, Mosier is the place to be on Sunday afternoons.

We have toddies! Coffee that’s cold brewed for 12 hours so that it’s smooth, rich and refreshing –with none of the bite.  Also Iced Tea from organic black tea –people have been loving it.

The next  time you see someone working at the shop who you haven’t met yet, say, “Hi Becca.”  She makes jewelry and grew up in Hood River (but we won’t hold that against her).

Also, check out our new granolla –a special recipe from locals Steven & Chris. And, of course, we have a gluten-free version too.

Finally, we have new growlers! Aren’t they cool? $5 for the jug then $10 to refill.  64 oz of whatever is yummy on tap.

We have two new people behind the counter these days. Stop by to say hi to Marty Thiel and Daniella Bentimiglia.

We also have new hours as we inch towards Summer:

Monday -Friday 6:30am – 6pm

Saturday   7:30am – 6pm

Sunday       7:30am – 8pm

And we have new 10 Speed tshirts (by local artist Jan Birkit) and new mugs (by local artist, Penny Wallace).

Sunday Music Nights haven’t changed though. Join us from 4pm to 8pm for dinner specials, drinks, and hilarity.

Join us on Wednesday, May 18th at 3pm for our annual Weed & Feed.

You help us beautify the grounds and we serve you a delicious free dinner.

Work goes faster with a neighbor by your side and everything tastes better with a bit of dirt under the nails.

Our big news is that we’ll be closing early on Saturday the 7^th at 4pm because Dave & Crystal are getting hitched! Wish them well next time you stop by.

April was the last month for pizza.  We now have dinner specials for our Sunday Music Nights (4pm -8pm) and we’ll be switching to BBQ for the summer.

 Also, a big welcome to Hannalies who joins us behind the counter and has been cooking up a Gluten-free storm
