Need an excuse to buy some ice cream? I didn’t think so, but the Weaverville Drug Company has an Ice Cream Rewards card for you anyway. Buy a cup or a cone and get your card punched. After 10 punches, you get a small ice cream cone for free.

Weaverville Pet Pantry is hosting a Pet Photo Day 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, April 12. Photographer Thuy Nga Vu will be on hand to take the photos.  An appointment is required.  Call Weaverville Pet Pantry at 484-9274 to make an appointment or for more information.

Bring your best buddies to Pet Pantry to have their mugs taken. You can bring their favorite toy, treats, dress them up, or bring them in their birthday suits. Each prepaid $45 fee will include:

• 1 photo session
• 1 8×10 photograph
• 2 5×7 photographs
• 8 wallets

Customized packages and larger prints can be ordered for your pet’s pleasure.

Your pet’s photos will be posted on the website thuyngavuphotography.com and you can choose 1 pose for the wallets and up to 3 poses for the enlargements. Then call or email your order and the mugs will be ready for pickup at Pet Pantry in 1-2 weeks.

One more thing: it is highly recommended that you exercise your pets before your photo session.

Happy Easter!

Every Saturday Shop Around the Corner offers free samples of some of the dips, dressings, preserves, or other food items they’re now carrying in their new location.  I haven’t been able to pin them down about an exact time for these tastings, but they generally start after Noon.  If it’s a cold day, like last Saturday when I took this picture, you might score a cup of hot tea too!

Shop Around the Corner is located at 55 North Main Street.

Winter Morning on Main Street
The main streets look clear now, but early this morning I literally skated across an ice-covered Main Street to get to Well-Bred Bakery (yep, that chocolate croissant was worth it).
