Cameron County Nutrition Temporary Shop Changes
Cameron County Nutrition
PLEASE READ! TEMPORARY SHOP CHANGES!
As many of you know, I will be having a baby towards the middle of November. To accommodate to my workers, our schedules, and what’s going to be easiest for us, we have to do some TEMPORARY hour changes! Notice how I said temporary, these should only be for the time that I’m out. I’m hoping for a quick and speedy recovery so that I can get back to serving the community and bringing lots of new ideas to the shop! But please be patient with me as I’m welcoming my first baby, and want to soak in as many snuggles in the privacy of our own home!
I also ask that everyone is patient with Marea & Ally while I’m away, please order ahead if you can (ESPECIALLY THE MORNING CREW), This makes it easier on us! This time of year is the busiest for our shop! AND you will still be seeing Debs beautiful face on Saturday and Sundays!
‼️~Starting October 2nd, we will be CLOSED on Mondays, until further notice! ‼️
~
When I leave & my other girls start working, I’ll make a post about the other hours changes, but they will be as follows!
Monday- CLOSED
Tuesday & Wednesday- 7am-3pm
Thursday & Friday- 7am-4pm
Saturday & Sunday- 10am-3pm
As stated before, this is all temporary, these hours will not be staying this way, we will eventually go back to opening at 6am, just bear with me during this time!
I thank you all for supporting me, my family, this small business during this time
I appreciate you all every single day!
To show my appreciation let’s do a Giveaway!

The event will be from 4-7 p.m. at the Lewis Run Volunteer Fire Department, 46 Main St., Lewis Run.
State law requires PennDOT to replace license plates that are deemed illegible at no cost to the vehicle owner. A plate is considered illegible when one or more numbers or letters cannot be recognized from 50 feet away, typically due to blistering, peeling, discoloration, loss of reflectivity or other damage.
The McKean County Sheriff’s Office will be on hand to view driver’s plates, and if the plates are deemed illegible, paperwork to start the replacement process will be completed. Those who plan to attend should bring their vehicle with the affected plate attached, along with their unexpired PA driver’s license and current vehicle registration card.
Registration is requested and may be completed online at www.RepCauser.com/Events or by calling the Bradford office at 814-362-4400.
