Hello again,

Thanks to our amazing Falmouth staff led by Sally B for just a marvelous Falmouth Spring Open House this past weekend. Thanks to everyone here at Skillin's--you all contributed in amazing ways to pull off just a great event. And many, many thanks to all of our friends and customers who stopped by this past weekend to show your support. You overflowed our Falmouth store--not only with your physical presence--but also with your amazing joy and brimming optimism. Many of you were here with multiple visits--now that is a sign of a great event, that you would stop by again and again! Your presence; your connection to Skillin's means more than you will ever know! Thank you, thank you we are truly blessed!

 

 

We keep the Spring Spirit going with our Spring Open House at Brunswick and Cumberland during this weekend of March 24 & March 25! What could possibly "top" the Falmouth Open House! Well our staff at Brunswick and Cumberland have just the answer to that! DOUBLE the fun! We have just unbelievable people at each Skillin's location with some great teamwork and also individual talents. We love to show off what we can do for you, so visit us as often as you can to see what we have done for you.
