December 2022 - Holiday Boutique
This year's theme: "Gifts and Greens"
Ways and Means Chair, Cathy Legere, did an incredible job of organizing the workshop on the 5th and the boutique on the 10th. Our wonderful MGC members worked just like Christmas Elves to create and display all the wonderful items we had for sale.
FINALLY ... It is December 10th and the big day is here!
We had a cold week leading up to the sale and the morning of the 10th! Once again, our dedicated shoppers lined up early before the doors were to open at 9:30 am. The savvy shoppers came VERY early to be the first ones in the door! Cathy made sure that the members were at their post and ready to assist our anxious shoppers.
We opened the doors and the crowd rushed in. Our beautiful venue in the North Conway Community Center made for a spacious layout which provided much more room for our shoppers between the aisles and tables. This made all the products more visible and accessible. There was a mad dash for the Boxwood Tree table as usual after the doors opened. Our new specialty items were very well received by the buying public who were looking for something unique and different. There was something for everyone whether it be a gift or something to decorate their home or table.
The staff was prepared for the large crowds - a larger box check area and simplified check out areas worked well!!! The sale started at 9:30 and ended just after 12:30 pm.
Those who come each year know to join us early for the best selections since many are one of a kind. We are looking forward to next year and are already planning to have some new ideas and a number of new items to add to our wonderful sale. Please come back and see us then!
