Dollar Deals
Back in February, 2010, the store closed. This is just hanging around for... sentimental reasons.
It has been formatted to match our typical presentation style.

The store has gone through some changes. New pictures will be posted (eventually).
And now there are almost 100 different Mylar balloons, and about 24 different color latex balloons.
Some of the new categories include fishing and scrapbooking. |

I was going to put a picture of the Mylar balloons here. However, the picture is not longer valid.
Why? We now have 52 different balloons! We are going to be increasing to about 70 by April
too!! We have all different types of balloons - Birthday (regular and numeric [1, 16, 18, 21, 30, 40,
50, and 60]), get well, baby, shower (baby and bridal), love, anniversary, many different holidays, and
sports. More than 70 different styles - seventy! |

Business has been steady. It was a little slow after Christmas, but that was expected. We got
in a lot of gift bags (finally) and had to make more space on the wall for them. We got quite a few
other new items as well. Linda is especially fond of her fishing supplies. There are quite a
few changes compared to the original set-up we had (see the older page for the original photos). |
