πŸŽ„One of our holiday traditions is the return of the Elf. Ok, in our case, elves - we have 2! In preparation for their return, we have put together a personalized letter from the Elf, some ideas, excuse notes and more Elf fun for you to enjoy. You can find all of those HERE.

πŸ›οΈIt's time for some holiday shopping! Don't forget to Shop Local!  This Saturday, November 28th is the Care Fair at 10am- it's a local virtual shopping event benefiting SPCA & UMFS.  You can enjoy shopping local from the comfort of your own home!
