MONTHLY FEATURED BUSINESS

Hi there! I’m Ray Olfert and I’m the owner of Dad’s Day Off Games & Hobbies. Some of you may be wondering what is behind that large shield across from the Post Office. Well, nothing actually. Just the frame that holds the shield in place. In the building behind it, you will find all sorts of games, puzzles and models. Need some paint for that model? Got that. Missing some dice or couple of cards from a deck and need a new one? Got that too. What about storage for that special deck of cards? Yep. There are games for everyone from the age of 2 to 102, 2 players to party games. Games have been a passion of mine for a very long time and opening this store is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Christmas is coming up and it will mark my 1 st anniversary. Imagine that! As well as being a business owner, I’m also one of your Town Councillors. Stop on by and check out what’s in store.
