September 2021

September 1, 2021

It’s September and that means . . . Bluemont Fair time! There wasn’t one last year, but this year will be from 10 until 5, September 18-19. This year’s poster design is below, and both posters and t-shirts with the same design will be for sale.

If you haven’t been to the fair, there’s really something for everyone—much more than is listed above! Admission is only $10; it’s free for ages 9 and below. As an experienced fair-goer, the things to remember are to wear comfortable shoes, no pets are allowed because of the animals, and come hungry! It’s not everyday that we have an excuse to eat funnel cakes and fried Oreos, right?  😊

On a less positive note, you may have noticed that repairs are taking a bit longer and that we have a note on the website suggesting you call before coming to the store. That’s because Cecil had a stroke last month and is still recovering after three weeks in the hospital and a rehab facility. While he’s now home, he’s going to physical therapy and won’t be able to return to work until he regains the use of his right hand. Bob set up a Go Fund Me page for those interested in helping him with the unexpected medical expenses: click on link  Cecil Help or cut and paste into your browser https://gofund.me/fc604f44. Your help is truly appreciated!

Bob notes that it’s a good time to bring in items that need caning and rush seating as he does those himself—pretty skillfully, I might add.

We’ll be closed on Labor Day, Monday, September 6th, but hope to see you https://gof                   Lynne & Bob McCann
