Costa Rica Day is now over and we raised close to $500 for Sydelle's Senior Project Mission Trip. The full amount will go to a Costa Rica Elementary School. We would like to thank all the customers and staff for participating in this successful event. We are very proud that we could help put this on in our store and help other people in the world.

Easter is April 4th this Year

Easter is right around the corner, I couldn't believe it myself -time is flying by this year. We have our Easter decorations out and let me tell you what, they are super cute! The bunnies on the cart is my favorite decoration, it would make a beautiful center piece on the table. So come in and see what other goodies we have. Let us help make your Easter season one to remember.

Gianormous Marshmallows!

We have giant MARSHMALLOWS!

Make fun characters, giant s'mores, or strawberry vanilla rice krispies!

These marshmallow's are wonderfully enjoyable, they are great to eat, play with, and to put in the microwave. They come with 30+ marshmallows in a bag with two flavors: vanilla and strawberry. I was skeptical about the strawberry flavor one, but is was REALLY GOOD! It was just the right amount of strawberry flavor to make it a YUMMY treat.
