Our second round of State College-themed merch just dropped! (And if you love to wear your local pride as much as we do, you’re gonna love this…)

Originally from Tampa, Elizabeth Hay made her way to State College for grad school and, along with her husband, decided to stay. Since then, the pair have started a business, are raising 6 kids, and have become firmly rooted in the community.
