Wow! We are thrilled to announce that last night we went to the big fancy and smancy Downtown Springfield awards ceremony. The mayor gave his annual state of downtown address, and the governor gave an opening speech (on a TV screen). We were honored to be among all of the other downtown businesses and a lot of other business owners in Springfield. And we were very much honored to be nominees in two categories: best new retail space and best innovative business concept! Out of those we ended up receiving the award for best innovative business concept!

Thank you to the committee of Downtown Springfield, Inc. for giving us this award – we have had a very successful first year downtown and we are excited for many more!
