Great Times & Great Friends

Here on Labor Day weekend it is nice to relax a bit in the shop before the busy season begins. I am very fortunate indeed to have so many good friends here in Colon. Bill Watson, my second "dad" is taking some time out to show my granddaughter Lily how to draw a picture of a butterfly. After that we are off to the zoo and looking forward to spending some quality time with her - she is three years old and going on ...10!

I hope you are enjoying your family this weekend - have a safe and happy Labor Day!

Magic Week-A-Whirl

Where do I start? First let me thank all of those who attended and I deeply appreciate your wonderful comments. It makes all of the hard work worth while. Next I want to thank my staff. Without them there is no way we could have served the hundreds of customers who walked into our store: Krag & Carol Ryal, Mark Davis,Syd Abbott, Sam Durocher, Cindy Conklin & Erica Brown. They did everything I asked and then some. I appreciate all of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Magicelebration 2010 a complete success as we set sales records all four days! Our Percy Abbott book was a complete sell out and now have ordered a second printing. We had so much fun and more will be posted on our www.colonmichiganmagic.com website so stay tuned. Plans are already underway for next year and man do we have some surprises!
