A Special Mention

Before we zoom around in our sleek 2024 RAM 1500 Laramie, let's make a pit stop at Pastries by Chad on Elkhorn Square. This delightful bakery’s location, previously known as the Elkhorn Pastry Shop, boasts a legacy of over 60 years! Alongside his own creations, Chad continues to serve the mouth-watering pastries we all adored from the Kaplan family, who previously owned the bakery.

 

Stop in for a sweet treat during Oktoberfest!
