Christmas in July

Country Roads Christmas

It has been so hot that people are speaking of winter with a hint of longing in their voices, if you can believe it. In July and August, we all remember the snows of December and wonder why we complained so bitterly.

Perhaps with this in mind, a collective of businesses has established Country Roads Christmas “Summer Tour” – check the Facebook event page here. Light refreshments will be served at each location (see participants below, and on their site).  Specials available at each location on the two days of the tour: July 17 and 18. From their site:

Take advantage of the sales and sign up for our drawings at each location. A grand prize and 17 more prizes to be drawn.
No purchase necessary.
The more locations you visit the better your chances are of winning! So be sure to fill out a raffle ticket at each shop you visit!! Good Luck!!
