Greetings from the FWB or as we like to call it “construction zone central.”
It’s funny how the flow of the day goes when you own your own business and are trying to expand. Well, “funny” is probably the wrong word. “Chaotic” is also a good descriptive word. But if you have ever experienced anything like the major renovations we are undergoing t 1370 N. Long Lake Road (or are a small business owner yourself) you realize that it is of the “carefully controlled” variety.
There are plans, there are to-do lists, there are visions and dreams and checks to sign. All of these things make up the ebb and flow of our day. And while sometimes it all piles in on you and the best solution seems to be to just plop down in the sawdust and have a good old-fashioned cry, that usually passes and you emerge with a renewed sense of purpose. Or you pour a beer, take a deep breath, and leave behind whatever it is that’s making you want to scream and focus on a different part of the project.
Luckily for us we have a great team helping us with the myriad steps involved with transforming the former Creative Wood Products showroom into our (safely sprinkled) banquet hall and the warehouse behind it into the new production winery, brewery, taproom and store. PLUS the space between and beside the buildings into our unique, park-like Beer Garden.
Plus we have you and your support! Come on out and help us out by refilling your growler, buying your home brew or winemaking supplies, snagging a bottle of wine for dinner, or just saying “hi.” We’ll remind you that our public Open House is ON for Thursday July 31 so mark you social calendars. More details will be released on this blog which is then posted to Facebook and Twitter.
See you soon!
Matt & Ginny
