Ok folks! This is it! I have 17 boxes of new shirts with more on the way so I'm running out of room. Clothing sale will end at close of day on Sunday. For now, new designs are starting to pop up on the wall and are available for sale at full price.

Anyone missing a tall Springer Spaniel type dog? One has been seen multiple times in the last couple of days on Tars Pond off of Pease Rd. Too skittish to get a clear picture but pictures are being pulled off of a trail cam and will be posted to some Barnes pages. As soon as I can, I'll get a picture posted here, too. I have a number at the store in case you think he's yours.

You know what this means! Clothing order is starting to roll in. Invoices are arriving a couple of days after the boxes so I don't have a price figured out on some of it yet. Between track meets and softball, I'm hoping to have a decent amount of new items out by the weekend. For now, older styles are still 50% off and I need the room!!!

Be careful out there! We have reports of trees down blocking Bony Lake Rd, Birch Lake Rd, Moen Rd and partially blocking Lake Rd (between us and Cabin Store.) Be mindful of standing water. Give road crews room to work. Slow down and turn your headlights on. Stay Safe!

Fellow business owners be aware: we had a phone call this afternoon. Caller said they were from the sheriff's office and asked if the person who answered was there alone and then hung up. Sheriff's office was called and they said they've gotten several calls reporting the same thing today.

Can't believe we have to post this AGAIN. This time, we're addressing snowmobile riders. PLEASE be respectful of private property as you ride. We've had several reports of snowmobiles leaving lakes and riding up through private property and doing damage. Please stay ON TRAILS. Please be aware that just following someone else's tracks doesn't always mean you are where you're supposed to be. Many landowners access the lakes from their own property but aren't allowing public access. Not staying on trails is a good way to get trails shut down.
