...head across the river for a night on the town Wilco Farm Store sale.
As some may hit the mall during a sale, this family can make an evening out of going down to the local Wilco Farm Store for the Priority Customer Sale Event. {25% off animal supplies, lawn & garden, clothing & boots, etc. and 10% off everything else} We had more stuff to get, and not even feed this time as we just made that trip the week before hauling over 1500 pounds home in the truck. So, we pulled the kids off the basketball court where they were playing in the rain with the neighbor boys and friends, jumped in the truck and headed across the ferry to Canby. Wilco was maybe as busy as I've seen it tonight. For fun, I shot some pictures of our shopping adventure...which it always turns into because the kids goof around. We left at 6 and weren't home until 9ish. We spent nearly two hours at the farm store; a new record for us! I wonder...? Yep, we may be the only family who does this.

| Scotch combs are good for a quick fix |
 |
| We bought some show sprays at 25% off |
 |
| The Purina feed aisle...the one that guzzles our money |
 |
| We bought the girls cowgirl belts at 25% off |
 |
| Here's one tough customer with his cowboy game face on |
 |
| Pink and sparkles are just right for this cowgirl |
 |
| The only time you'll catch this cowgirl in a pink hat |
 |
| Now who wouldn't want that? gotta love Wranglers. |
 |
| "Pleaseeee, Mom?" "No, we just sold our bunnies." |
 |
| One spring, we sold three of our chocolate mini rex rabbits at the farm store. |
 |
| The new wheelbarrow |
 |
| Nearly two hours later...past dark and we're done. |
Besides the wheelbarrow, show sprays, and cowgirl belts, we picked up fertilizer and other lawn/garden stuff, fencing materials, garden seed, and potted herbs for the herb garden I'm planting.
So, in conclusion, I highly recommend a trip to Wilco if you're itchin' for a lil' country fun. Be sure to try on the hats and Wranglers.
