Picture this. You’re standing at a 1950s garden party and everyone around you is dressed perfectly on theme — polo shirts, khaki pants, and pearls galore. Then you turn your head and are transported to the ultimate Northwoods cabin, decked out with taxidermied animals, flannels, and vintage fireplaces. Confused? Welcome to The Bounty. The South Park Street shop and makerspace creates "environmental narratives” that tell stories. But what’s the story behind The Bounty itself? We sat down with owner J Henley to find out. 

🐟 Want to attend The Bounty’s annual fish boil and rain gutter regatta? Get the details here.
