Umpleby's Bakery & Café

In celebration of the discovery of the Higgs boson we will be offering a Kansas City style – (sweet and tangy) pulled pork sandwich on our own onion roll with our own potato salad – The Hoggs Boson!!

Just like the Higgs, our Hoggs Boson takes a massive amount of energy to make (well actually no, it just takes a low and slow oven to roast) , it breaks apart almost immediately when created (because it is so delicious you will want to devour it in nano seconds) and there’s debris afterward (some leftover sauce and all the napkins you used to eat it) .

Come celebrate science at Umpleby’s tomorrow!!

We will be closed this wednesday, the 4th of July to give our very hard working, terrific staff a day off.    Please come by tuesday for all your picnic / BBQ / beer tasting events.   Happy 4th of July!!

Hands on Pianos!!  The Hopkins Center

From the Hop Website:  Whether your specialty is chopsticks or Chopin, you’ll be the keyboard maestro this July in the Upper Valley. Thanks to the Hands on Pianos community project, colorfully decorated pianos will be turning up at bus stops, parks, sidewalk plazas, farm stands, general stores and other unexpected places around the region for the duration of that month, available for people of all ages and skill levels to explore, enjoy and engage in impromptu music-making. 

Kicking off the Hop’s 50th-anniversary season, Hands On Pianos is modeled after other “street piano” projects in cities around the world. The Hop’s version involves 50 instruments, most of them “heavily loved” donated pianos that will be transformed into eye-catching marvels by local artists.  The project will also include a handful of “partner pianos” already in place in schools, community centers and businesses willing to make them available to all comers.

We received our piano today and it looks great!!  Come by to give a play!
