Read moreWe usually stop here around Christmas. It is just a fun place to poke around and we usually find a few things for Christmas. I am not a shopper outside of Christmas so I have never been here out of season. But just sometimes I picture stopping here in July to see what they have and poking in the barn which is always full of just so many fun things. It is worth a stop on one of those days where you want a holiday to be special and fund. That's all I have some of your I will stop here in mid-summer to see what kind of fun things they have out for that. Great job Roost Mercantile we will...
