The Shop

Christmas Open House

 

The day started with shoppers waiting to get in the door at 8:30.  We had Phyllis Gerber and Kay Downer running one cash register in the main room while I ran a second one in the pantry lobby.  Barb Ranger, Deb Wuebbling, and Joyce McMurtrey stayed busy restocking and rearranging shelves every time a space opened up.  Shoppers were filling their shopping bags/baskets over and over like there was no tomorrow.  The afternoon quieted down, although we had quite a few returning customers from the morning chaos.  Carol Steele and I were able to get by with one cash register, but thankfully, Deb stayed until almost 3:30 refilling the shelves.  Friday was such a fun day and thanks to all the people shown above for their participation in making this day yet another huge success!
