November 12 & 13, 2009
We just wrapped up on of the most popular events we have ever held at P. Graham Dunn. Being that this was the first year for our Christmas Open House, we didn't know what to expect. In fact late in the week before the event there were few tickets reserved and some very nervous people at the store. We knew we had lined up a fun schedule of events, but if no one showed up it would be all for naught. Ticket reservations took off about 6 days before the first evening of the open house and we expected about 150 to 200 guests to arrive. When the doors did open, over 400 people attended! There were free snacks all through the store, with nearly a full meal provided by Broken Rocks Cafe of Wooster - Unbelievable! They decided that a tasting just wasn't enough. LeAnn Miller of Amish Country Living was the host for the evening and guided guests through cooking demonstrations by Coblentz Chocolates, Sally Lahmer, Trish Berg, and the Mariatha School. There were craft workshops by Cummings Floral, Thymbles, Pink Tomato, and P. Graham Dunn. All this and much more. Then, on Friday night we did it all over again and this time over 600 guests came out to attend. That's over 1000 people in 2 days. Now that we have an idea of the scope of this event, we will be turning it up a notch for 2010! Thank you to all who helped make those evenings so much fun.
Be sure to stop out the week of Thanksgiving for our big Christmas Sale on Wed, Fri, and Sat.
