We just really want to thank the person who called the Nelson Police last night about how we left one of our product tables outside after we closed. 😂
I guess after the cold and snowy day yesterday we were a little too eager to get outta here!
We also want to thank for calling us to let us know. We live in the best community. Thank you Nelson!
