**Hey everyone!! It’s that time of year again – I know because it’s snowing – that we celebrate once again the opening of this institution we call GROOVACIOUS! Yes, we are finally an adult; Saturday, November 9 is our 21st birthday - but you get the present!

We are keeping it low-key this year, but wanted everyone to benefit by giving you all 21% OFF the regular price of any in-stock merchandise!! That’s right; everything in the store will be at a discount for this momentous occasion (well, we think it is anyway).

Thanks so much for your support for all these many years. It’s so hard for us to believe! NOW…WE’LL SEE YOU ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH!! Remember – YOU are a part of our history!

**Also, make sure to come in and enter the contest for an Oak Creek Band prize package consisting of their new CD, Tee Shirt, and beer coozie! The drawing will be held at the Mike’s Tavern show, by the band on Friday, November 15!
