Monday... opening day is finally here! We could tell from the start... it's going to be a VERY busy week. We had a LOT of folks come by to see all the new stuff. The new products, especially the shoes and sunglasses, drew a lot of interest. Towards the end of the day, we heard that weather was coming in... the 70mph winds and 2 inch hail we were warned could happen never materialized, though we did get a decent bit of rain... which didn't manage to stop the Beach Boys concert in the evening. All in all, a good day... looking forward to more!
