EVENT: Sat., November 30thOur FINAL Red Bag Saturday of 2013.
Attention all Kitchen Cash Club Members! Mark your calendars now for the final Red Bag Saturday of 2013. We'll give you 20% off on most items in the store when you arrive with your Red Bag in hand! As a special perk on the 30th, we'll open the store at 8:30 a.m. for Kitchen Cash Club Members only until 10:00 - so beat the crazy after-Thanksgiving rush and enjoy muffins and tea in the store while you shop. Red Bag discounts last all day, but we'll brush off the muffin crumbs and open our doors to everyone at 10:00!
While we typically do not accept American Express, we're very grateful for their support of small towns and will accept it on the 30th in honor of Small Business Saturday.
If you're not a Kitchen Cash Club Member, be sure to sign up prior to the 30th, as Red Bags cannot be used on the day they are issued!
EVENT: Thurs., December 5th
Milford's Christmas Open House

Kitchen Aid Demonstration
We just nailed down the final details of this great event with Dean Stephenson of KitchenAid. He'll hold two demonstrations on the 7th, from 12 until 1:30, and again from 1:30 until 3:00. He'll be showing the fabulous versatility of their mixer and its many attachments, including the ice cream maker, food processor, and blender. There will be specials, giveaways, and even a drawing during each session for a 3 1/2 cup mini food processor valued at $39.99.
This is a great time to pick up one of their mixers for someone special over the holiday! They're not just for making cookies, as you'll see when you come in! They're made in the great U.S. A. and have withstood the test of time. KitchenAid is offering a rebate of $50 on their 5, 5.5, & 6 quart mixers, beginning November 23rd until December 26th, 2013.

CLASSES FOR 2014
We know you've all been waiting patiently for our class list for early 2014. We're currently firming up the details and verifying dates and menus. You can expect the new slate of classes within the next two weeks, so keep an eye on your inbox! In that vein, we'd like to let you in on a sure-fire way to get into one of the classes. If you've been in the store within the last two weeks, you've likely seen our latest arrivals. We've got the gold standard in blenders; the famous Vitamix. We're excited about that, so anyone purchasing one will automatically have a reserved spot in the Vitamix class we're holding in February!
