Nana's Bargain Events

Grab your coffee, this is going to be a long one! ☕️☺️

 We are SO incredibly excited to finally share some of our upcoming holiday events with you all!! ❤️🎅🏼 We have been planning, prepping, unpacking, and probably losing a little bit of our minds behind the scenes! 😂 

If you see us looking like a bunch of exhausted elves barely holding it together over the next few weeks, just know we’re doing it all because we are DETERMINED to bring you the BEST holiday season yet!! 🎁🎄 

We are really hoping you’ll pencil us into those busy holiday calendars and come spend some time with us! Whether you’re shopping, hanging out, or just coming for the chaos, we LOVE having you there! 

And if you can’t make it, we completely understand!

 We know this time of year gets CRAZY! ❤️ 

So BUCKLE UP, Bargain Bandits, because this holiday season is going to be SO MUCH FUN!! 🎉🎅🏼 We cannot wait to make more memories with all of you!! 

P.S. 🚨 NO LIVE TONIGHT! 

We are STILL unpacking from yesterday, and I’m pretty sure the boxes are multiplying when we aren’t looking. 📦😂 Speaking of which, I better get back to work before Nana comes looking for me and starts hollering!! 🤣❤️ 

LET THE HOLIDAY CHAOS BEGIN!!

Joyful Noise Organ Festival - Thanks to All

 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to attend the Joyful Noise Organ Festival at Emmanuel Episcopal Church.

 We would especially like to thank all those who played for the event. 

We are lucky to have so much talent in our community. 

We had a marvelous turn-out and the music was delightful.

 It was wonderful to have so many people help us celebrate our new organ.

 We are so happy with its sound of and all the things that it can do. We enjoy it every Sunday and look forward to future community concerts. 

Our church family has raised $32,625 toward the cost of the organ - almost three quarters of the total cost. Donations can be made in memory of or in honor a particular person or persons, or just as a way to help cover the cost of the organ. We will be keeping our organ fund open through the end of the year. 

If you would like to donate toward the organ, please make a check payable to Emmanuel Episcopal Church – Organ Fund in the memo line.

 If your donation is in memory of or in honor of someone, please enclose a note.

Successful Vet Jam of the Twin Tiers Event @ Tubby's Tavern

Vet Jam of the Twin Tiers 

Vet Jam Emporium Event totals: $7083.77 total event revenue (including a nice last minute donation from JJS Saloon, who has been a great supporter of the cause since day one - they're not on the shirt but they're appreciated, along with all the sponsors you saw on the spotlights this event run!) 

$200.00 Advertising Costs 

$426.30 Event shirts 

$109.07 Event materials/lanyards/supplies 

Net revenue $6348.40, all of which will go to causes that support local veterans (The Emporium VFW Rides For Vets program, The Allegany Valley Veterans Center, McKean County CVEB, and the DAV as well as our own Direct Action Fund, where we cut checks directly to local veterans in need of temporary housing, help with unexpected expenses, medical expenses, and other emergent issues which require support). 

This may not be a big Wounded Warrior event with big names, it may never make a million dollars or be known outside a small area, but you can count on it being honest, transparent, local, and rest assured that nobody involved is collecting a paycheck on it. You can take that to the bank
