2024: the tried-and-true,
And something new!
The sun has set on 2023. Reflecting upon the incredible journey Handlebend has taken us on this year. As is customary, we've been reflecting upon the past year. In true Handlebend fashion, it's been wild, fun, and a bit crazy. From the early months of anticipation to the festive holiday season, each event has certainly left an indelible mark... Join us as we take a 12 month stroll through the highlights that made Handlebend's 2023 a year to remember.
The year kicked off with a bang as we connected with the folks that make our HB community special. Through our Countdown to St. Pats Giveaway, we discovered stories from individuals who create cool shit. We told their stories across all our platforms and ended each week with a giveaway. All leading up to our final giveaway of custom O'Neill Nebr. St Pats mugs. If you haven't listened to their stories yet, check them out here.
Our copper still started taking shape.
Even more adventures
In February, the mugs were packed up with the skis and snowboards. They also took flight to Reno for a fly fishing trip.
HOMETOWN CELEBRATION
Every March is celebrated in our little town, with lots of mules.

HAT
In April, after years of wear and tear on Bryce's prized PBR hat we redesigned our own version so he could hang that one up.
Post office trips
May brought many post office trips to get mugs out to our customers.
how many stepps are in the building?
In June we painted and renovated the banquet room, Logan and Clay Stepp started helping us out so we could reach our production goals before Christmas. There may have been an equal amount of beers drank as mugs made. The team also ventured to Omaha for a World Series Tailgate at Brickway.
We welcomed Neon Lights to the building for a parking lot party in July.
August means summers about to end so we celebrated with the kids and a Handlebend photoshoot around the bonfire.
