Spring BRAKE Feature | Fayetteville Public Library
One of the silver linings of having so much time at home is the opportunity to read more books. And of course, the resourceful folks at the Fayetteville Public Library have established a workaround to allow their patrons to access resources and content from the library without setting foot inside the actual space :

Spring BRAKE Feature | Doxa/Vantage
Certainly during these times of social and disrupted work patterns, people are missing their work colleagues. For us, that includes the fine folks at DOXA. Some of our favorite clients have been introduced to us by this established design firm, located in Fayetteville Arkansas. Among them are the Fayetteville Public Library, The University of Arkansas School of Art, High Street Development and Susan Schadt Press. Back in February, they announced a merger with local media and marketing agency, Vantage Point Communications. The merger will undoubtedly enhance their combined expertise in working with both their local and national client roster. Fingers crossed that they can all occupy their super awesome office space again soon.

Spring BRAKE Feature | Sai Wok
By now, most everyone has heard of Sai Wok. If you haven’t, you’re welcome for the introduction. There’s really no other way to describe this place other than to say it’s super delicious and dangerously addicting.

Spring BRAKE Feature | Arkansas Wild Magazine
The craziness of the times we’re living in has definitely taken its toll on us all. But in the interest of finding silver linings, I would like to point out that this craziness has sure driven people to spend more time outdoors. And (from 6 feet apart), that’s a very good thing. I imagine people are discovering or rediscovering how beautiful our state actually is. And while a lot of the normal outdoor amenities are closed for obvious reasons, there’s still plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy yourself. For years now, Arkansas Wild Magazine has…
Spring BRAKE Feature | The Rusty Chair
Has Quarantine made you sick and tired of your current home decorating situation? Are you tired of looking at the same old Knick Knacks and feel that it’s time to buy new ones?

Specializing in “Antiques and Cool Stuff”, this little shop is…
Spring BRAKE Feature | Ozark Beer Company
Beloved by many and known all over the country, Ozark Beer Company is somewhat of an institution in the craft beer world. From their humble beginnings in a nondescript warehouse on 1st street, to their current location in the heart of Downtown Rogers, Ozark Beer has been turning out some of the state’s (and the nation’s) most interesting and most delicious beer. They are known for their famous bourbon aged stouts, their ability to collaborate with local businesses and institutions to produce specialty beers based on everything from locally grown and available produce to art installations and music festivals. Their taproom was a busy gathering place for regulars, Downtown Rogers Farmer’s Market goers, weekend shoppers, cyclists from Lake Atalanta and curious out-of-towners who were undoubtedly directed there by some article they read in a publication.
Recently affected by the Covid 19 Pandemic, they like many others, have been forced to shut down their tap room and scale back their staff. But they are still hard at work, producing their beer for store distribution and for drive thru pickup at their facility. Next time you’re forced to go the store, please consider supporting them, either by looking for their products on the store shelves or picking up some 6 packs at the brewery.
Cheers, Friends
Spring BRAKE Feature | Ashley Henderson, Food Stylist
This whole social distance thing is hard for a number of reasons. Sure, our work has slowed down but it’s also tough when you don’t get to work with the fun people you typically get to work with. For us, one such person is food stylist Ashley Henderson.
Spring BRAKE Feature | Arkansas Enduro Series
It was an inevitable reality that we’d focus at least a few of these posts on our work in the cycling industry. Today, we’re reliving last summer’s Arkansas Enduro Series and hoping that this year’s series will still be able to happen, at least partially. In the meantime, keep up the 6 feet apart social distancing pedaling and shredding.
