Radio Shack Plaza
November - March
119 N. Lincoln Rd. Escanaba


People ask us all the time 'where you located?' or the popular question on the road, 'Do you have more of ____ at your store?'  Well the answer is simply the same; "You're at our store!"  The physical retail store has been closed since 2011, but you CAN still find us at a retail location each winter season!  We have been set up near the Delta Plaza Mall for close to 10 years now, from the middle of November - March. Although we may bump around the area, we get to have a "store" back for a couple months each year close to the mall area. 2020 we have decided to move onto a more traffic visible location; the old Radio Shack, right off the main highway, and you can now find us at the west end of the bowling alley looking at the old Shopko. Come see all that we have to offer; and don't forget, SHOP LOCAL!

Chilly Willy MS Benefit Horse Show
October 5th, 2024
Carney Rodeo Grounds


"Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves, resulting in nerve damage and disruptive communication between the brain and the body.
MS can causes many different symptoms, including vision loss, pain, fatigue, and impaired coordination. The symptoms, severity, and duration can vary from person to person. Some people may be symptom free most of their lives, while others can have severe chronic symptoms that never go away."
Chilly Willy is one of our last outings of the year, and we  couldn't be a prouder sponsor. This is no black tie affair but a rather Orange Out Any Way Possible!  No need to clean your horse for this event, its more fun than it is serious judging. Join us out here as we "Take the Reins For MS"!
