We all met in the receiving area of the Peoria Barnes and Noble to get dressed. The cafe wa...

Re: How do you dye leather shoes?

Tandy Leather has leather dye and they can give you good pointers on how to do it... but the best way would be to take them to a shoe repair shop and have them dye the shoes for you.

The cafe was sectioned off to make a wrapping station for us and announcements were made on the intercoms on an infrequent basis. This event drew a surprisingly l...

Our flash toll roads campaign raised closer to $1,000 alone which is pretty impressive for 7 people collecting money at a single intersection a few hours out of the afterno...
