Great sales going on

There is a sale going on at Scheid's Truc "N" RV at 13680 Old State Road. Their number is (440) 632-6321.

I got to stop in and talk with Andrea Scheid, and they are there to demonstrate and tell you about the heavy duty, well-made EdenPURE heating units. Andrea and staff can answer all your questions. These heating units are safe and efficient, and money saving as well.

You could save on the price of the heating unit now, and save on heating costs for the rest of this cold season and coming winters.

Scheid's Truc "N" RV is just north of the Stained Pane. By the way, Betsy at the Stained Pane is having a sale on the beautiful, one-of-a-kind items in her gallery. If you stop in just for a look, you will be sure to come out with a unique gift for Easter, birthdays or next Christmas.

Keep money inside school district

How is the challenge going for you? Have you been able to keep your money inside Middlefield and Cardinal Local School District, or at least inside Geauga County?

I would like to know how this is going for you. Where have you needed to purchase outside of Geauga County or outside the Middlefield area? I think the information would be helpful to our merchants in finding out what you need and how can they help you stay right here. I went to Garrettsville to see a movie two weeks ago.

Let me know how you have been doing with this. I made an end date of April 15, but if you would like to send an e-mail earlier, please do. Contact me at lmjgwg@windstream.net.
