On a personal level, Iāve been dreading having to write this post, let alone record this video with Matty H Photography
Weāre so grateful to the community for 5½ years of support, and as much as it pains us to say it: Cascadia Axe Co. will be closing by the end of August.
Weāve coached, cried, loved, and grown with you. We live, laugh, leagued with you. Weāve watched strangers become friends, and friends become extended family. We saw first dates, anniversaries, and weddings. We watched people make connections and forge friendships. Those things will never leave us.
After several back-to-back slow seasons, itās become impossible to sustain things financially. As a first-time business owner, there were a lot of tough decisions I/we faced over the years and some things I wish Iād done differently. Thatās the thing about hindsight, ya know? But even though this was incredibly hard and caught us off-guard, we couldnāt end this without saying goodbye.
So weāll be hosting a Going Away party mid-August (announcement to follow), youāre invited to party with us one last time!
ā”ļø If you have gift cards, please come use them ASAP. Donāt wait until the end! We have full-facility rentals this month, and walk-ins may not be available. Reservations are best.
What happens next for us? Kyle will continue his new sharpening business, but Southern Oregon will be losing its axe throwing venue. As for me, Iāll figure it out.
Thank you for helping us launch during a pandemic; weāre going to miss being a staple in the axe throwing community, hosting tournaments and parties, supporting those whoāve supported us, taking the trailer to mobile events, donating to those who asked, coaching confidence, teaching people something new, and just enjoying this weird, unique sport.
Come by, share stories, grab a drink, snag merch, or just hang out these last few weeks with us. We love you, Rogue Valley. Yāall made an impact on us as much as we made an impact for some of you.
Maybe weāll be back, somewhere down the road. šŖš¤
