New Things are Coming

The office was bustling this morning with people getting their ideas, papers, and themselves ready for our meeting.  We have big plans for the upcoming year, and we want to keep our customers and readers informed as well as involved in some of these plans.  Here are the top things that were on our discussion table this morning:

1. We discussed the revamping of Red Hill General Store's website, as well as some of our sister sites, and what direction we would like to take with them while staying true to our original goals with these sites.
2. Sales, events, specials.  We talked about what sales, specials, and events that would be possible for us to do this coming year.  We definitely have some ideas going for some of these, and will keep you informed.  
3. Blogs.  We discussed our blog, and the two blogs we have for two of our sister sites, and what direction we want to take with them and what our readers may or may not want to see.  We are hoping to do more with videos, how-to articles, product reviews and more on our blogs this coming year.
4. Local info & events.  We know that many people are curious about our main location.  Hillsville, VA and we want to share information with our customers about what our area is about, and what there is to do in Hillsville.  So we are going to try to stay on top of events and other happenings in our area that you, our customer, might be interested in knowing about.

Feels Like Winter

Temperatures are below 32 degrees here in the tiny town of Hillsville. While driving around town, you see Christmas lights, and trees in the windows.  All the lights, tinsel, and ornaments seem to be up and Christmas is just around the corner.  Here at Red Hill General Store we are ready for Christmas as well:

Autumn Has Set In

The chill was definitely in the air in little Hillsville, VA today.  The leaves were being blown around and while they look beautiful they do tend to create a mess in the yard.  But as with every year, the falling leaves bring back memories of being a child and playing with my Childrens Fan Rake, and Childrens Wheelbarrow in the back yard, gathering up all the leaves into one huge pile, just to jump into it repeatedly.  I'm sure as a child most people spent hours doing just that during those cool crisp fall days.

Another great memory, is the delicious pinto beans that were cooked all day long, so that they were nice, warm, and tender at dinner time.  Now, that is a memory easy to replicate, I'll just be sure to buy some beans from our store tomorrow and bring them home to cook this weekend.  You should stop by Red Hill General Store and replicate some memories of your childhood fall.
