And a proper store opening can't happen without a lion dance performance, of course! So, a special martial arts troupe came to our open house, accompanied by some kids from Mark Twain Elementary as "baby" lions, and they performed a proper lion dance ceremony for us. Owners Alyson Bell and Connie Lacobie (in center of photo) came out to cheer the dancers and welcome their good luck and fortune into our store.

The audience, especially the children, greatly enjoyed this performance!
