Some other tips

Safety First. When we open the doors at 7:00am we will admit as many people as we safely can. Then as people leave we will admit more.
Dress to be warm. We hope that you’ll be able to stay warm while waiting. You will need to leave your bags and bulky coats hats and bun-warmers in your car right before you come in to the store. We will have bags for you to collect a stash in.
Sale go-ers should enter at our front door on North Avenue and exit through the back onto the First Street Plaza.

Even though we may have snow in the next couple of days, it looks as though it won’t be -40° or a sudden blizzard and the current forecast for Saturday at 9am is a brisk 10° F.

So what more could you ask? Yarn, decent weather, yarn, popping next door to McNally’s for brunch, yarn and more yarn … it sounds like a good day to me … a crazy sale.

See you tomorrow.
