Ahoy, River Adventurers!
Set your sails for an evening with the Flotsam River Circus, where thrills and laughter flow like the current! I'm told tonight's performance will be one of a kind, as the river crew has been perfecting a brand-new skit that will make its grand debut right here in Havana.
Join us at the Main Street river landing at 6:30 PM for a floating good time. Parking is limited at the Main St. landing, be sure to bring your own chairs along with the bug spray to keep those pesky critters at bay.

It's always nice to receive a heartfelt compliment. We are excited to work with this new group that has recently started up. We appreciate their commitment to shopping local, especially since they are operating with a limited budget for advertising and getting their message out. They could have chosen to go online for a cheaper deal, but instead, they opted to support a local business that also supports our communities. Give Havana Printing a try for all your printing needs.
