                                      MAILING LIST -

If you haven't received anything from us in a while, you may no longer be on our mailing list. Sign up at the store, or you can email us at:

                         plowsharecenter@sbcglobal.net

We'll send you information on up-coming special events at our store, as well as money saving coupons.

Volunteer Opportunities: WE NEED HELP! We are always in need of energetic volunteers to help greet customers, bag/wrap items and replenish inventory. And, if you can work at another location (local school or church) for a few hours on the weekends that would be great as well. We'll take you for a few hours a week or a few hours a month. You choose your own schedule. The good news is, when you volunteer, you receive a 15% discount - which comes in VERY handy for gift buying! Call Dianne at 262-547-5188 for additional information - or stop by the store to pick up an application.

                                                           SPECIAL ORDERS

We gladly accept special orders with a 50% down payment. In most cases, your order will arrive within 10 days.

       See upcoming downtown event listings at Waukeshadowntown.com & Downtownwaukesha.com

They will include the hours for the Farmer's Market, Friday Night Live line up, Art Crawl events, 2nd Fabulous Tuesday events and much more.
