Hi folks!

I hope that you have been enjoying our cooler weather lately. I definitely have been.

Just a few more votes needed in our board, boycott and community action election. PLEASE!!! Vote if you haven't! (Sorry, voting twice isn't allowed.) http://www.wheatsville.coop/election/index.html

We had a great Artsfest this year. Many thanks to Judith Craft, and all of the musicians and artists that made it so special. Special thanks, too to all the shoppers who braved the extra traffic and confusion to come and do their regular weekend shopping at the co-op. We appreciate it!

If you didn't get enough Artsfest, we will be having a mini-Artsfest at the next Third Thursday on Dec. 21st. Join us as we enjoy music from the excellent Green Mountain Grass and have hot cider from our friends in the Wheatsville deli. I'll tell you more as we get closer, but set the date and skip the mall and do your last minute holiday shopping at Wheatsville's Third Thursday Artsfest!

We got our new shopping carts today and they are itching to roll into the store and be filled up with stuff. Your new grocery chariots await!

Gifts and such
Niki, our housewares queen, has done a great job again this year choosing gifty items that your friends and family will really love! We’ve got items for him and her and for every body part from feet to lips as well as gift items for the home! Look for finger puppets, Alpaca Hats, Burt's Bees Bay Rum Shaving Products, lovely and good smelling candles, calendars, the Fearless Critic Austin restaurant guide, and some selections of Putumayo World Music (“Guaranteed to make you feel good!”) Shopping at Wheatsville or other non-chain stores for the holidays is your best community option! Skip the malls and buy local!

We have Food, too!
It's getting to the most wonderful time of the year (Nope, not Christmas time, but CITRUS TIME!) I had my first Goodflow fresh Tangerine juice today and it was great! Sometimes the first batch can be a little bitter, but this one was sweet and delicious. Don't deny yourself the delight of Goodflow Tangerine juice. (I'm serious! Don't!) It's only availbale for a couple of months, so drink up!

Produce is also going to be rocking in the citrus in the coming weeks, too. Look for greet oranges, tangerines including satsumas and clementines and blood oranges, too. We don't have all the amazing citrus that we will have, but it's definitely started. So, partake of the season and eat your citrus!
