We are trying our best to keep up! WHEW! Please be under- standing and patient if we cannot ac- cept everything brought to us. Some items that we do not accept are used mattresses, "fat backed" televisions, printers, and non-working rusty small kitchen appliances. We ask that donations be accepted dur- ing our store hours. We are redesigning the drop off area to make it easier for everyone. However, if we are closed and we are working in the store, you might see a "Donation Shopping Cart" out front for donations. We report after hour dumping to QPD with photos. Our motto continues to be, "if you wouldn't give it to a friend, we don't want it either." Remember WE must pay for our garbage disposal. YOU can take garbage to the "dump" for free. Transfer station is just north of Fire Station, with winter hours Sun- day to Wednesday 7:30am- 2:30pm. We will be open Monday through Saturday with winter hours starting November 6th. Our hours will then change to opening at 9:00am and closing at 1:00pm. Christmas Carole has begun to ar- range our porch area for her beautifully displayed Christmas wonderland. We have two sheds full of delightful fun Christmas items that will soon be ador- ing our porch area. Shop early and of- ten. Every day will have new items. Of course, priced to sell. We really have a need for another storage shed. We love the one we got last year. Anyone hearing about a very reasonably priced shed let us know. Thanks. We have received several nice motor- cycle clothing items. These are mostly Harley Davidson apparel and acces- sories. We have leather jackets, vests, googles, etc. Come in and see us. Want an at home volunteer job to help us? We have plastic bags that al- ways need to be opened and laid out fl at. Come in and ask and we'll give you bags to take home. We really appreci- ate those that do this for us. We will be closed Saturday, Novem- ber 11th for Veteran's Day. We will be closed Wednesday November 22, and Thursday November 23rd for Thanksgiving Day.
