There's always a hundred and one things to do during the Holiday Seasons from decorating the whole house, to doing the shopping for everyone and their mother, to cleaning up your house in preparation for messy guests, and of course the dreaded cooking. Unfortunately we can't help with the cleaning, but with our "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry" event this weekend we can help with the shopping and the cooking. If you can eat it or drink it, it's 25% off all weekend long!

For the month of August, we asked our customers to help us support our troops, by purchasing .99 cent cards to be shipped overseas to our soldiers. We tried this out the last two weeks in June and we received over 3,000 cards! Those have already been shipped and we're ready to send them some more!

Think Christmas in July

Even as the temperatures hover in the 90s, Chris Ashworth is already focused on ensuring a happy winter holiday for military families.

Soldiers stationed in Afghanistan don't get a chance to drive to the nearest store and pick out an appropriate Christmas gift for loved ones.

But Lynn's and Daphne's Hallmark shops in Cary and Apex are collecting money to send recordable holiday books to soldiers, let them record their voices and get the books back to families stateside before the holidays.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on Saturday and we hope you did as well!
