Naples General Store holds back-to-school contest |
| August 25, 2012 |
|
The folks at Boundary county's oldest retail
business want to make the high cost of back to
school a bit easier for a deserving local family
nominated by you! The chosen family will win school supplies, clothing and accessories. To nominate a deserving family, all you have to do is write a letter that includes the family's name and address, the names and ages of their children and an explanation of why you feel they are the most deserving. Drop the letter off at Naples General Store, 517 Deep Creek Loop, Naples, by September 1. If you'd like, the nomination letter can be anonymous. The Naples General Store has been in business deep in the heart of Naples, Idaho, since 1893, the year the diesel engine was patented, that Thomas Edison finished work on the phonograph, Grover Cleveland became the most rotund U.S. President so far and the U.S. Supreme Court made one of its most profound rulings, legally declaring that a tomato is, in fact, a vegetable. As it's been since its founding, the store today remains a true general store, still having its old-fashioned charm and offering just about anything you might need, from groceries to gas, fishing gear to plumbing parts and just about everything in between. Nowadays, though, you can even get a tan in one of their tanning beds, a hand-dipped ice cream cone or your favorite DVD. The Naples General Store, where community becomes family, is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. To find out more, call (208) 267-2947 or email naplesgeneralstore@gmail.com. You can also follow the Naples General Store on Facebook. |
