Hello Tuesday! Chelsea here.

I know that a lot of you will be out of the office for the rest of the week, so I just wanted to take a quick minute before we dive in to tell you about something cool. On Friday, we’ll be launching Columbus Navigator’s 12 Days of Giveaways! We’re so grateful to have had an audience like you over the last 6 years, that we wanted to give something back. Every day, there will be a different prize that you can enter to win, an opportunity exclusive to our newsletter subscribers. Tomorrow, we’ll have more info about the prizes (they’re so cool!), but the first giveaway will start on Friday morning when you open the newsletter at 6:15 a.m. Now that we’re all extra excited, let’s talk about bread, specifically, where you can find the best bread in C-bus.
