A bit early for Ice Skating here in the Northeast, but maybe not in Alaska or International Falls, Minnesota, so maybe this display is not too, too early on a continental basis. Still between Fall, Halloween, approaching Thanksgiving and far off Christmas (and not counting any Jewish or other special seasons) we have a confluence and overlap of quite a few Holidays. Still I report what I see to keep you ahead of your competition. Maybe you should be thinking Valentine’s Day, Groundhog’s Day and Easter. CLICK the thumbnail for an overview of this Carole Towne scene and the gallery for selected closeups. Seen in-store Monday October 13th.
