Happenings & Info
I still cannot work the shop yet, but am recovering daily.
I am also grateful to my one, remaining employee, Mary Jo Bohnenkamp and fill-in helper Ellen Martin, for diving in and helping as much as they can. My hours, however, will be varied during this time, which, I know, is not optimal for my wonderful customers.
Your patience and ongoing support are so gratefully appreciated… I truly have the BEST customers ever!
Kathleen has given her notice as of October 21. Although sad to see her go, we’re excited for her, as she has a new guy in her life, and new exciting adventures ahead. Please welcome Kathleen Cardenas to WillowCreek! Kathleen brings extensive retail experience, and has been a long-time Jacksonville resident. My pre-Covid team of three are not comfortable returning to work, so I'm incredibly grateful to Kathleen for helping me! Her addition is allowing the shop to be open every day again.
WillowCreek opened for walk-in customers May 15 (Phase 1 date for Oregon). The Governor recently mandated use of Face Coverings in public places, so we’re requiring them in our small shop.
Our wonderful locals and visitors are enjoying town again, even if some events like Britt Festivals and Ashland’s Shakespeare Festival are not happening this year. Wineries are offering live music in their outdoor venues, most restaurants and shops are open, our extensive trail system awaits, and the Rogue River and Crater Lake are not far away!
A wonderful customer wrote this today, “So happy to be able to shop at WillowCreek this week! The first store I went to after I released myself from “home quarantine”. I found two lovely gifts for friends… And more purchases for later…😊
