With Christmas music playing in the background, staff members at Sidekick Coffee & Books set up a tree for the holidays on Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2021. The coffeeshop has a calendar with daily events planned for the month of December, including a visit from Santa. Owner Katy Herbold said that as her children become eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations, she sees a turning point in the future that will allow the shop to host the events they planned back in 2019 when they opened.
