I would bet money they have enough sneakers for the whole town. They have a great back to school sale on right now! Buy 1 get 50% off the second. Some exceptions apply. Its worth going in to see what the have in store. And for funsies there's a clearance corner upstairs! Jays/Lace It Up !!

What a wonderful surprise last night!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Sarah and Bryan Baeumler, along with their family and friends, for dinner while they’re in town filming HGTV’s Home Town Takeover.🤗

We’re so grateful they chose our small town and supported a local small business. It was a pleasure to chat with them, and they were kind enough to take a photo with me.

Thank you for spending part of your evening with us❣️we’re so happy you enjoyed your meal!😊

Wishing you and your team all the best during your time here, and thank you for shining a light on communities like ours. ✨❣️
