If you’ve ever been down to Becky’s Country Bakery you know about the friendly country vibe and home-cooked meals that left you feeling satisfied and entertained. Dave’s uncanny ability to poke fun at you, make you laugh and charge you $100 for a refill was as amusing as his karaoke shows.
Becky’s has closed, but don’t despair — Becky’s legacy lives on with the next generation.
Tyler Carriere, a young entrepreneur, came along and fell in love with Dave and Becky’s only daughter, Dallas. Soon the couple married and picked up business when Dallas’ folks moved to Hawaii. However, Becky’s wouldn’t be Becky’s without Dave and Becky. So Tyler and Dallas and their baby Finnius set up something a little more their style just up the road.
The new little coffee trailer is called Red Wagon Coffee, located on Ryan Road beside Airport Service & Mini Storage. They still make the famous cinnamon buns, scones, muffins, cookies and bagels, and have kept Becky’s bread going on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Starting Saturday, Red Wagon Coffee will host a community market set to run every second Saturday until the end of summer. The idea is to liven up that side of town, get people outside, and give artists and craftspeople a chance to sell their goods or sing their songs. The market will run rain or shine and will include music, draw prizes, workshops and special events. To kick things off they are inviting the entire Valley to help them paint the wagon red on Saturday.
In remembrance of Becky’s big red barn, come grab a brush and slap some ‘barn red’ paint on the wagon.
A Red Wagon Market newsletter will feature the next markets, vendors and musicians. If interested in being a vendor, entertainer, volunteer or sponsor contact Dallas at redwagoncoffee@gmail.com or visit the wagon.
