am truly overwhelmed by all the birthday wishes, messages, calls, and kind words throughout the week and yesterday. Thank you to everyone who took a moment out of their day to think of me, come share a drink with me, or popped in just to give hugs—it means more than you know.

This year has brought a lot of changes, challenges, and blessings, and I’m incredibly grateful for the people who continue to show up with love and support. I’m lucky to have such amazing family, friends, customers, and community in my corner.

Tonight, I’m ending the day the best way I know how—relaxing by the river, enjoying dinner on the grill, and reflecting on just how blessed I truly am.

Thank you all for making my birthday so special. ❤️

🍇 THE SAUCE THAT PUT THE ELK ON THE MAP: PB&J WINGS TOMORROW! 🍗

It’s Wednesday night of Jasmine’s Birthday Week, which means there is only one acceptable wing sauce choice tomorrow: Jasmine’s absolute personal favorite, our legendary PB&J Wings! 🥳🎂

This isn't just a unique flavor combo—it’s proudly made using "Mama Marge’s" original recipe, the very one that put the Tavern's wings on the map. It's the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and sticky comfort.

🔥 The Deal: 6 wings for $6 (Dine-In Only, starts at 4 PM).

💥 The Challenge: We have 6 killer house sauces, but tomorrow, you've got to show Team PB&J some love for Jaz's birthday!

Drop a birthday wish for Jasmine below, and we'll see you tomorrow night for a basket (or three)! 🍗🎈
