Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! And I hope 2012 is a
wonderful year for you.
We’re starting off the year with this issue filled with great recipes,
quick tips, some interesting articles, and a Secret Shopper visit to
Bridgewater Primitives in Alliance.
We are also welcoming several new advertisers to our Country Register
family and wish the new shop owners all the best in their new ventures.
It’s important that we support these new shops, as well as our other
local merchants. The 3/50 Project (shown on page 19) is an effort to
save “the brick and mortars our nation is built on” by encouraging us to
spend at least $50 in three independently owned stores, helping to save
our local economy. It is so important that we all work together to
restore our economy. The shops who advertise with us are not only
independently owned stores, but also shops whose proprietors are ones
who care about each of their customers and who cater to your special
needs and requests. As you visit these shops, be sure to mention to
them that you saw their ad in the Country Register. Without them, our
paper wouldn’t be possible. And without your support, they wouldn’t
be there either.
So, let’s all work together to get things back to “normal” (whatever that
is!) We had fun putting this issue together for you - hope you enjoy it.
“Talk” to you in the spring!
