Wreath sale at Et Cetera during Downtown Christmas Open House

The Et Cetera Shop, 327 N Main St,  is one of fifteen downtown merchants participating in the annual Downtown Christmas Open House on November 5 and 6.

The thrift store is having a wreath sale: all wreaths will be half price. Other Christmas stock includes fabric, gift bags, greeting cards, wrapping paper, tinsel, knickknacks,  garlands,  baubles and trees.

Et Cetera Shop supports the relief, development and peace work of the Mennonite Central Committee. The organization’s motto is “where every purchase is a gift to the world!”

Store manager Chrissy Lugibihl notes: “We do not have a supply chain shortage due to your generous donations every Tuesday and Friday from 8 a.m.-3 p.m.”

Shopping hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 1-5 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.-1 p.m.  Masks are required in the thrift store.
