ADAMS TWP — The township’s new GetGo Cafe + Market hosted two private tours this week in preparation for its grand opening Thursday, May 18.

According to public relations manager Brandon Daniels, the festivities really kicked off May 12, though, with a visit from GetGo mascot Lil’ Tot at the Mars Area High School prom.

“The school district has been amazing; we have such a good relationship with them,” Daniels said. “Tot attended prom; he was there to take pictures with students, and we were giving coupons away — and he had a new costume for that too. It’s like, ‘Party Tot,’ so he’s got a bow tie and little party hat.”

With the new location nestled between Mars high school and middle school, Tot’s prom visit and the tours Tuesday and Wednesday were part of community-focused activities to celebrate the location’s partnership with the township.
