Last year we began a new tradition. We didn't want to feed the "Black Friday" frenzy in the usual way, so Bob & I decided that we would begin a weekend event that mirrored one of our favorite movies - Pay It Forward. We chose to "pay it forward" by collecting food for the Central Pa Food Bank.
What a better time than right after we had all celebrated Thanksgiving? So to continue that tradition we will expand it to Black Friday and Small Business Saturday - Nov 25 & 26. Bring 2 cans (veggies, fruit, etc) or 1 large box of dry goods (like mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cereal) and get 15% off regular priced items. This includes yarns, needles, books, bags and accessories. Just in time to create a beautiful handknit or crocheted gift for family and friends.
Last year we collected over 160 lbs of food for the Food Bank. You all were so generous. We have a goal of 200 lbs this year. Can we beat that goal?? We sure hope so.
Most of us have lots to be thankful for even though things could always be better. So lets start to make it better. Join us on Friday Nov 25 from 9 - 8 and Sat Nov 26 from 10-4 during Pay It Forward Weekend!
See you then.
