Hey Everyone,

First we’d like to promote the wonderful trunk or treat that happens right here in downtown Brooks on October 31st from 5:30 – 7:30pm. For the last several years we’ve had good turn outs and wonderful trunks! Please feel free to spread the word and mark it on your calendar!

We also wanted to let you know that now that we are in October we will be returning to our fall/winter hours which means we will be closing on Friday and Saturday at 6:00pm. So that means we are open every day from 10am until 6pm except on Sunday when we close at 5pm.

We hope to see everyone at the Trunk or Treat!
