Tickets are $10.00 at the door.

We have seen a video of one of Dave's earlier hypnosis shows, and it was a laugh riot!  We can't wait to see him do his thing in person.

Mark your calendars and join us on the 2nd for a fun-filled event.

Scott's Pharmacy turns into a shopping wonderland every Christmas, but this year, the dazzling assortment of gifts seems more enticing than ever.

The options for gift-giving range from jewelry and stylish women's accessories (nab those jeweled flip-flops!) to gifts for younger girls.

But that's only the start.  Scott and Melanie feature many faith-based gift items, including stunningly beautiful crosses for the home.  Candles, plaques and decorative items make shopping easy and, dare I say, joyful.

While the gifts help you make memories, the staff at the Photo Hut can help you keep the memories that you capture throughout the holiday season.

The frame selection is extensive.  Hint:  a favorite photo in a frame is one way to make favorite friends and relatives smile!

This is always a a fun event with all the charm that makes small town parades so special.  The kids are wide-eyed and the seniors smile as they sit in their lawn chairs to watch the decorated cars, floats, tractors, horses, band and cheerleaders and even tractors and ATVs roll by.
