It was a good time, not a long time. We bid farewell to Sean after a great few months as he moves on to pursue a new challenge.
Come and celebrate his last shift with us this Saturday. He’ll be shucking at the bar all night long. Pull up a stool and get into the minutia of Ontario Wine, Magic the Gathering and Fish Butchery with him.
We’ll see you tomorrow night 🩵
