It is sure nice to be back after being closed for 8 weeks and really good to see all my friends who stopped by to say hi. This past Saturday, 3/7 we had our grand reopening and gave 10% of our day or $100 to Bucksport Community Concerns.
I want to say thanks to everyone who stopped by for your support. We met some new friends and got reaquainted with some old and a lot of people came in specifically to support BCC.

I was very happy to hear those comments to know that what we do is appreciated! Looking forward to seeing everyone this spring--come check out all the great new merchandise we have in the store!!!
