Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday so far! We have lots to share this month, because many exciting things have happened and there are some great things coming up as well!
Starting off with a big THANK YOU!
Our third birthday party was a huge success and we owe a lot of people thanks for that. Thanks to Jeff Mores of the Benton County Daily Record for writing a beautiful article on our business just in time for our birthday. Thank you to Nancy, Bill and Miss Mollie Gross for speaking with Jeff and saying such nice things about us. Thank you to all the terrific vendors who came out and set up, gave away prizes, donated to the goody bags and shared their knowledge. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun with out you. Thank you to our awesome employees who put in lots of extra hours to get everything ready on time. And most especially, thank you to all of our unbelievable customers who not only made our birthday party successful, but who make it possible for us to be here after three years. There were many people who said that we would never make it, but you have proved them wrong. And for that we are truly grateful!
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner
We had lots of winners at our Birthday party as well. Congratulations to Margaret Choffell and her dogs Lillian and Stella for winning the Year of Free Treats. Congratulations to Paul Knutson and his dog Jeff Smith for winning the Biggest Wag contest. And congratulations to all the winners of vendor prizes. You can see pictures of the winners and names of the people who won vendor prizes on our blog at
