We are so excited to post these photos of our newly remodeled store! At the beginning, we had a very simple plan of starting with a wall to separate our shipping area from the Retail Store.  A month later after recycling every piece of cedar wood from our old props, we finished. In a way, we built our store just like we built our business. It started by taking the first step, evaluating what was accomplished, take another step etc. Many steps later it is better than you would have ever expected.

Our original goal was to do such a nice job that our customers would smile when they walked in the front door. With our Annual Egg Hunt coming up soon, we should soon know. Our bet is we will see some smiles.

We are so thrilled to have been participants in the 2012 Claus Cause.

This effort, created and organized by 717 Studios in Carlisle, unites local businesses to raise a donation together for Project Share through sales and events. Meadowbrooke Gourds participated through our online and in-store Silent Auction and was able to donate $591.91 to Project Share. Thank you to our great customers for helping us help those in need!

The Claus Cause raised a total of $5,111.81, which it presented to Project SHARE on Thursday, Dec. 20.
