What are nice punks like us doing in church on Sundays? We will spend several Sundays this Fall at First Congregational United Church of Christ in Downers Grove (“UCCDG”) running a 10:30 am Continental Breakfast. The Dalai Lama had said “My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.” And Punkass Pastry agrees. We didn’t choose to partner up with a particular church because of the way they pray. We choose to partner with organizations who support their communities and the planet they live on.
A perfect day for Pride! We spent the morning handing out cookies to the walkers from one end of the parade to the other. And we saw Dorothy and Toto.
The crowd had a great time at The Buffalo Theater Ensemble's Trivia Night! Thanks to the attendees for supporting a theater company comprised of very nice people. Visit them at BTEChicago.com.
We surprised the cast and crew of Kokandy Production's Grand Hotel with a bakery box at Theater Wit. This was an amazing show! We hope you got a chance to see it.
We had an awesome time at The Anti-Cruelty Society's 24th Annual Bark in the Park! The rain stopped and it was a nice, cool day for participants and vendors. Humans and dogs had a great time on the walk, enjoying free tastings and products from vendors, running the agility course, all while being accompanied by the fantastic band. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our bar. Hope you had fun too!
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU again for being a Bark in the Park sponsor this year! The Punkass Pastry stand was a popular one for sure and the cookies were delicious! I have heard nothing but awesome things about them and your friendly staff from our participants and volunteers. You really helped make the event a huge success!" The Anti-Cruelty Society.

We had great fun at our last event of 2017! Our one-act play was charming and well played by all of our actors who volunteered their time to participate, and Sister Mary of Brahma Kumaris Meditation Center led us in an enlightening and peaceful meditation.
