Twinkle Night! … is almost here!

For those who haven't joined us for Twinkle Night before,

let me give you a quick course on what it is all about!

Twinkle Night… 101

Twinkle Night is always held on the

first Monday in December. It is an evening to 

celebrate & share in the Spirit of the Season!

It is a combination of a customer appreciation & a charity event! We deck the store in her best winter attire… 

twinkling lights & a dusting of snow!

The festivities begin @ 5:30 and the shuffle into the the store begins! If we are lucky enough to have fair, winter weather the line to get into our little store may be long!

(one never knows!… just want to give you fair warning!)

Wear your woolens & bring your patience… just in case!

You'll find treats & spirits & we'll have the 

cocoa hot & a campfire to keep you toasty!

We offer raffle tickets for sale, for a chance to win prizes donated by The Whistle Stop & a few of our elves!

The proceeds of the raffles will be donated to a local family, 

making their holidays a little brighter! 

The tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. 

The grand prize ticket is $10.00 for one chance to win 

a secret prize that the Mr. is working on!

We draw the winning tickets @ the end of the evening! 

(Do not need to be present to win!) 

There are door prizes too!

Ways to win…

#1 if you have a star on your receipt you win a door prize!

#2 find a lucky twinkling star hidden in the shop, 

you win a door prize!

 We also have a small 

appreciation gift for you!

(while supplies last!) 

 'Tis the season to twinkle! 

 We hope you'll grab your friends

and come celebrate with us!

We're on the road… AGAIN!

The Whistle Stop and a few friends 

are heading to the country!
