We'll

back to Wheatsville. There is also parking in the neighborhood on
Saturday.

We're also featuring some of the best DEALS ever this Saturday (while supplies last)

So, come on down and celebrate with us!

Special note: while
we would love to have you all come to the party, we know that some of
you are just looking to shop on Saturday. While we will do everything
we can to send partiers to our parking garage, parking will still be
hairy during the party. Sooo... Please consider getting your shopping
done early on Saturday if you can. And of course, walking, biking or bussing to Wheatsville is ALWAYS a good option!
 
Please(!)
if you are coming for the party and planning to stay for a while we ask
that you park off site to preserve whatever parking we can for those
folks that just want to get in and shop. We really appreciate your help
with this!

I am SOOOOOO looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
