Herb Fest in St. Ansgar

This Saturday, July 18th, is Herb Fest in St. Ansgar. This is a fun day to visit the stores in town and check out vendors on the sidewalks. New this year...the shops will be open Friday evening, July 17th, to at least 6:30 p.m. offering in-store specials. Home Sweet Home's weekend special (Friday and Saturday) is 30% off most of our garden decor. This will include birdfeeders, birdhouses, some outdoor rugs, rock critters, and other such things. We will be sampling raspberry iced tea and creamy mint sticks (because mints are an herb!) and a garden dip. Also, we will be promoting our other herb-infused items like morning mint lotions; and Iowa soy oil and dipping herbs; our garden potpourri; all-natural goat's milk soap; and the best little garden gloves. The weatherman forecasts a nice day for us and we really hope that you can come visit!
