November is Native American Heritage Month – a time to recognize and celebrate the rich history, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Native American and Indigenous communities. This month-long observance honors the resilience, traditions, and wisdom passed down through generations. From art and literature to activism and social justice, Native American heritage continues to shape our collective history and enrich our present. In the spirit of learning and celebration, we invite you to explore our selection of books by Native American authors, curated by Hudson. 📚 These works offer powerful insights, unique perspectives, and stories that span genres and generations. Dive into these titles, which can be found in select stores throughout November as well as online, and discover more about the vibrant cultures and histories that continue to inspire and educate. https://lnkd.in/es6mq5kA

Get ready for a taste of the No. 1 "Best Beer Garden" in the U.S. at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)! 🍻 Today we unveiled OMB Biergarten, a full-service restaurant and bar created in partnership with Charlotte born-and-brewed The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery (OMB). The opening is our latest under our master food and beverage concessionaire agreement at CLT. “OMB is a staple of Charlotte’s craft beer scene and has been a wonderful partner of HMSHost at Charlotte Douglas International Airport for many years. When the opportunity arose to create a concept that would bring the larger OMB experience to the airport, we knew it was a project everyone would support. OMB Biergarten helps make a traveler’s journey through CLT as exciting as their destination, and we are proud to partner with The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery and the City of Charlotte to bring this to life," said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Stephen Douglas.
