The Countdown Continues

Posted on December 3, 2010 by admin

Horsefeathers gift cardIt’s hard to believe that we’re already into December with only three weeks left until Christmas. Got all your shopping done yet? Maybe you can cross a couple names off that list of yours with some Horsefeathers gift cards. The Countdown to Christmas discount is at 22% today…a great savings. These gift cards make great Christmas gifts or buy some for yourself so you can save money and enjoy one of your favorite restaurants in North Conway.

The Polar Express is running this weekend so be prepared to see lots of children, and adults, walking about town and in Horsefeathers having dinner either before or after their trip to the North Pole.

Tomorrow, Dec. 4, our neighbor Zeb’s General Store will be hosting Maine humorist Tim Sample from 11am to 2pm in the store. Check out YouTube for some of his videos and you’ll see why he continues to be a New England favorite.

Also happening tomorrow, from 9:30am to 3:00pm is the annual Children’s Christmas Store at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church. This annual event gives families with limited means a chance for their children to do all their Christmas shopping. The children are assisted with their shopping by an elf while the parents sit and enjoy a coffee and treat. The children arrive with a list of people to buy gifts for and are taken from room to room by their elf. All the gifts are priced from $1 to $5 (retail values much higher) and are even gift wrapped for free. This is a great way to help those less fortunate and teach the children that giving can be just as much fun as receiving. All proceeds are used to re-stock gifts for the next year’s Children’s Christmas Store.

Have a Horsefeathers weekend!

It’s Black Friday!

Posted on November 26, 2010 by admin

The Countdown to Christmas is on! Get your Horsefeathers gift cards today and through the weekend for 30% off. See our last blog posting for the complete schedule of gift card discounts.

The valley is all a buzz with Christmas shoppers and since Settler’s Green was open at 5:00am I’m sure that’s the hot spot for today. I can’t say I’m all too fond of the massive crowds pushing, shoving and trampling everything in site just to reach that must have item before it’s sold out, and then re-stocked a day later, but it is part of the shopping experience. Isn’t it?

Santa’s Holiday Express is in full swing this weekend at the Conway Scenic Railroad. The kids will get a chance to meet Santa during the train ride and will even receive a small gift. Ticket prices start at $10 depending on age and the station opens at 10:00am.

Finally, as a little teaser for you, there will be fireworks on New Year’s Eve in Schouler Park at 9:30pm. This celebration is brought to you by the local businesses of North Conway so please be sure to spend some time (and money) at these local stores and say thank you.
