News : Senior Snoop Shop is now open
The Senior Snoop Shop is now open for the summer. The Senior Snoop Shop, a store where you can buy handcrafted items made by Forest County men and women 55 and older, features items such as baby sweaters, socks, quilts, ponchos, decorated shirts, pillows, fine jewelry, scarves, slippers, fishing lures, ice fishing chairs, ceramics, dish cloths, baked potato bags, soap bags, woodwork and the ever popular ‘scrubbies’.
The current hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The shop will close after Labor Day, September 1, 2008.
The Snoop Shop was started by a retired nurse who thought local seniors should have a place to sell their handy work. Since 1979, the store has been providing seniors with an outlet for their creativity while giving them a sense of purpose. Items are being accepted at this time. Requirements are that you be 55 years of age or older and own property in Forest County. Stop in the shop for specific details on number of items you can enter or contact Marge Scardino at 478-1164 for more specific information.
To learn more about the shop, attend a monthly meeting the second Thursday of the month, May through September in the lower level of the Crandon Library at 1 p.m. The shop is always in need of volunteers during the summer, you can be a worker in the shop without being a crafter. Anyone interested in volunteering at the shop, contact Marge Scardino at 478-1164 to see how you can help.
