Music Nights + Tree Hugger Gum + Sweet Construction Bakery

This is one of the weeks where many people are traveling, so we're taking a bit of a breather before launching back into events!

With everyone out of school and the weather heating up, it's the perfect time to hit the road on a new adventure. Before you hop in the car or queue up to get on the plane, stop on by Rebus and grab some great snacks and beverages! We've curated a new idea of road trip snacks with healthier options that don't skimp on the taste or fun. Don't know where to begin? Here's are some of our favorites:

-Poshi Veggie Snacks (like the Cauliflower which is steamed & marinated)

-Legally Addictive's Churros! Toffee and Chocolate Covered Cookie

-Sweater Box Confection's Lavender Lemon Cookies

Check out our calendar here for more events!

TREE HUGGER

Tree Hugger is a Bethesda, Maryland company that is changing the way we chew, in a bubbly, delicious way.

In their own words:

"Chew on This… We started Tree Hugger Gum for two simple reasons, we love our kids and we love gum.

We want our kids to enjoy what we loved to do as kids- Chewing bubble gum and blowing giant bubbles. What we don’t want for our kids is gum filled with artificial colors, artificial flavors, chemicals, and preservatives.

Wherever we looked, bubble gum or chewing gum is made with hard-to-pronounce ingredients like Acesulfame Potassium, Aspartame, Phenylalanine and made with artificial flavors and Artificial Colors like Yellow 5 and Red 40. Even gum with names and packages that promised natural, simple flavors like spearmint; or health benefits like cavity-fighting were filled with all kinds of chemicals, artificial colors, and flavors.

Along the journey for a better gum, we also discovered that gum is not only fun, but can provide benefits. Did you know that chewing gum has all kinds of benefits including helping improve memory, reducing stress, improving concentration, appetite suppression, improving digestion, reducing acid reflux, improving alertness, and reducing ear pain? With Tree Hugger Gum you get all these benefits without all the artificial colors and artificial flavors.

Tree Hugger is made with Natural Flavors, No Artificial Colors, and No Preservatives. Our ingredients are NON-GMO.

So, when you chew gum, chew on Tree Hugger GUM and GUM-FILLED CANDY. Chew Wisely."

They are a sponsor of Tree.org, which plants trees in developing communities through a Forest Garden approach that supports consistent cash income, food security, and enhanced natural resources by restoring degraded lands.

Have you been to Dix Park's newest edition: Gipson Play Plaza?

It's the largest adventure playground in the Southeast with 1000 trees and 110,000 plants, and it has a 91-foot-long MEGA-SWING! What?!?

And what's better than that? It's basically right across the road from Rebus, so you can come on by and pick up some healthy snacks and drinks (or even some LOCOPOPS) before you go explore. Sounds like the perfect day!

You can find more information about the park here.

We are still reeling from the events that impacted our neighbors in the mountains, and we’re taking action by gathering GoFundMe campaigns and featuring them on our relief page. Many of the businesses we’ve reached out to that are still open have asked us to showcase their products, as they’re eager to attract autumn visitors. We’re also in the process of securing more of their offerings, so remember to think of Rebus when you begin your holiday shopping.
