Happy New Year and Sweet Valentine Wishes
Bear Naming Contest with 3 winners- Ollie The Bear
Happy New Year to all of our customers. Thank you for your support this holiday season. I checked…we can say ‘Happy New Year‘ through the end of January and still be appropriate. We have been very conscious of not clogging your e mails…so hope to have interesting information every time we post a blog. The bear from Brookline Ice and Coal was awesome. They are a generational family business and we’re happy to support them. ‘Ollie The Bear‘ was a conversation starter, traffic stopper, photo opportunity, and lots of stroking and even tongue licking…until the January thaw hit when it fell over and melted. We will have an ice sculpture again next year, as it was fun for us too!
