Happy Mother\'s Day
Love, love is a mother’s gift
To their precious children, their hearts to lift.
Warm, tender and giving love
That grows them up healthy and happy.

Knifewear Cares!
This local business likes to put something back into the community. In 2012 Knifewear will donate HALF of all the proceeds earned from knife sharpening to SAS. Just bring the knives to the shop on 9th Avenue Monday to Friday where they can generally be sharpened while you wait/shop/watch. Saturdays and Sundays will most likely be a drop off and pick up situation.
