NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT


Classical harp music in an old fashioned hardware store? Maybe an all-time first! Today we were honored to have Patricia Hill in our store for a few hours. We moved her in next to the wood stove - surrounded by housewares and firelogs and our old store was filled with beautiful music. Patricia is introducing her new DVD which features beautiful images of the Sacramento River through the four seasons of the year accompanied by her enchanting harp. We'll be showing her video and offering her DVD and CDs - including a special Christmas album - through the holiday season. Wasn't a particularly busy day as the weather was nice and most Christmas shoppers headed out of town. They don't know what they missed. Those who came in and listened had a special treat. We hope to have Patricia back after the holidays and do some advertising in advance. This time it was un-advertised except for some window posters. Patricia is known in Dunsmuir as the Village Harpist and what a special part of our community she is! She certainly made our day.
