It’s raining at my house but the sun is shining so it’s not going to last long! ☔️

I’m going to be transparent with all of you…our sales are significantly down this week along with many other downtown businesses I’ve spoken to. The majority of our locals have skipped town trying to avoid the Camporee. I get it. But, here’s what we’ve noticed. Stores are fully stocked, there’s not 55,000 people out and about in our community, cell phones are working, internet is working, the traffic is normal, everyone has been so kind & so grateful to be here. It’s nothing like everyone was so fearful it would be. This is just my opinion but it’s not the Camporee hurting our local businesses is the locals leaving or not going out as usual. Please 🙏 go downtown and show our local small businesses your support if you’re still here. We are missing our people! ❤️ Thank you!!!!!! 😊

Have a happy and safe 4th of July 🎇🎇🎇🎇
We are closed for Thursday and Friday. 🎇
See you Monday morning!

Happy Memorial Day!

💔What would *you* do if you were alone and had a heart attack?💔
1. Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2. You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden you have chest pains. They are starting to radiate in your arm and jaw. It feels like you’re being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 SECONDS!! before losing consciousness.
6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs, and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. This is how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.
8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9. Instead of posting memes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.
