Every 5 years since the 1900’s, Almont has celebrated Homecoming.  It’s a time for class reunions and family reunions.  Coming home.

Event Calendar coming soon.

i’m officially freaked out.  My hotmail account has been hacked.  Please DO NOT open any email from me (Deb Schumacher) that says HELP in the subject line. It is a scam, stating that we have been in England and mugged. Everyone in my contact list may receive this email.  I don’t know that anything would happen to you, but be on the safe side.

I have not opened any suspicious email myself, we have virus protection and firewalls, so I am at a loss to understand how this can happen.  Thank you though, for your immediate concern.

farmer’s market and petting farm, wellness classes and horse-drawn wagon rides.

It’s a momentous occasion .  Twenty years in business, in a small town.  Whew! Some changes coming, just some rearranging coffee folks. so don’t worry.(more on this later) Right now we need you to Vote!

Anyway, please go here : http://wdiv.cityvoter.com/the-brewhouse/biz/96324 . Click on Vote.  that’s all. you can leave a comment if you like. and your vote may just win you $1,000.  WhooHoo!  Thanks everyone.

We’re all so busy moving, moving, moving. Time is flying by. We received a letter from the Country Corner thanking us for doing some of our business with them.  Locally. When we could. We can’t always buy from them, but we do, when we can.  I hope it’s the same for you. I hope you think of  The Mill and stop in when you can.  As a small, family run business, we do appreciate it.

In return we hope you notice when we walk you out to your car, in the pouring rain, with an umbrella over your head.  When you come in to get coffee and forgot your wallet, and we write you an IOU.  Or how we know exactly how you like your coffee-whip, no whip, 1/2 caff, weak or strong etc. etc.   It’s our way of thanking you, everday, for your patronage.

I’m really excited about our fan page on Facebook.  If you haven’t been there yet-get on over-special coupon on its way and much more.

Here’s to you , not just today, but everyday.  Thank you!
