Composting, Sampling, Celebrating

Hello everyone

There is just so much going on at the store this weekend.
COMPOSTING:
This Saturday June 19th, we'll be hosting resource conservation Manitoba. They will be at the shop at 2pm and will spend an hour with us teaching everyone how to compost at home. The art of backyard composting is one that should most certainly not be lost. So call us at the store (269-3355) or sign up during the week so that we know how many people would like to participate in this FREE event.

SAMPLING:
Today at the shop we started up my new display freezer. I was so excited about the new space that I named him Thor, the thunder freezer. It will take us a few days to get the case stocked and properly labeled so if you can't find what you are looking for, as usual, just ask me or my wonderful staff, we'll be sure to help you find your way through the new set up.
The reason that I am so excited about the new freezer is that I will now have more room to display even more Manitoba products. Within the next few weeks I hope to be getting in an even wider selection of naturally raised meats, and made in Manitoba frozen goods. Very cool indeed.
To celebrate the new space, the lovely folks at Drink me raw food smoothies will be in at the shop on Saturday, June 19th from 3 pm till 5 pm sampling out their most fabulous smoothies. The smoothies are of course, available for purchase at Crampton's in Thor, the thunder freezer.

CELEBRATING:
For those of you who forgot, this Sunday is Father's day. I think of it as a time to celebrate all great men in your life, not just your Dad. If there were a best dad competition though, most certainly mine would win. My dad Sam did much of the construction of my new store, fixes things that we break at the shop, runs around the province picking up local fruits and veggies, and in general will help me out at the shop with anything that he can and all that he takes in payment are cookies and cinnamon buns. (If you see a hand sneak around the display case and grab a cinnamon bun, chances are it is attached to my dad Sam)
So this Sunday, June 20th, we'll be sampling out our Texas Watermelon in salute to our Dads, and all men in our lives.
Why watermelon?
It is rich in lycopene with can help to PREVENT prostate cancer. It is estimated that over 80% of men will die WITH prostate cancer. Though is may not be the most fatal of cancers, it is among the most prevalent. Nothing is more manly than spitting watermelon seeds across your back lawn, but who knew that it was good for your health as well.
This father's day, give the men in your life some watermelon...or bring them by Crampton's Market so that we can!

Take Care
