Nick received his second dose of his COVID-19 vaccine in the middle of April, and after giving him a few weeks to make sure the vaccine was as effective as possible, Nick was finally able to get out in the community and do some of his favorite activities!

It had been over a year since Nick went into a store, and he was so excited to get out in the community and do some shopping.

Online shopping was a good substitute for Nick over this last year, but he really missed being able to pick out items in a store and get out of the house.

Nick’s favorite thing about shopping is buying gifts for those he cares about.

His favorite place to shop is the Arc Thrift Store. You never know what you will find! Nick is careful to make sure he sanitizes his hands after looking around at the store.

Nick continues to wear a mask in public and socially distance, but he hopes that as more people are vaccinated restrictions will lesson and he will be able to get back into schools and community events to promote Awesome in Action and ability awareness.

Nick has signed up for the Immanuel Lutheran Christmas Bazaar in November, you can find him and his team at his booth at the event. Look for more information on this later in the year!
