Title: Sad but that's life
Post by: wapiti on March 30, 2012, 12:29:00 PM
Hard to write this but Plenty Coups Archery store front has to close. I will still have the online store with a few changes but the store on main street has to go. The Drs. have told my wife and I to cut back or else! After 2 heart attacks in 13 months and never really recovering from West Nile Virus (trust me you don't EVER want to get sick from this) I feel we need to do what we need to keep enjoying life. We will no longer manage the lodge either and will be moving into town. My wife Karen will still sew and teach sewing but no custom work. I apologize if this is an inconveinance to folks but it must be done. I will update when the move is complete. The Coups Cap will remain alive and healthy!!!

Your health is the most important thing.  I am sure all those who were blessed enough to have a trad store to go to will miss it I am sure, but totally understand.

Do whatever it takes and the heck with everybody else. I lost my Karen a little over three years ago and would give anything to have her back. Cancer doesn`t care how hard you try. Good Karen`s are precious things. DI

Thanks for understanding folks. Had a fellow come over from Salmon,ID yesterday while we were packing things. He was bummed to say the least. Mostly wheel shops around here. Not much for us "tards" that choose the simple stick. Moved a lot out and I am about zapped for energy even though we had plenty of help. Man getting old is dah chitz!   :(
