Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim and Phyllis Armentrout and their family in the death of their son John this week.  John was 20 years old and died as a result of injuries from a car accident.  Tim and Phyllis and their crew have kept the floors clean and shiny at Red Front for many years.  John helped them on occasion and also worked briefly at Red Front. 

Ask people what comes to mind when they think of Thanksgiving, and mostly something food-related will be mentioned.  Many of you are probably busy getting together everything you'll need for those special meals and events.  As we work to keep our shelves stocked with all those items you're looking for, we want to take time to say THANK YOU for your business.  We know that without customers coming through the doors, we would need to close the doors.  We also know that you have many other choices in the area, so it is with grateful spirit that we thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to continuing to serve you for years to come.

Please note that we will be closed Thanksgiving Day, so our employees may enjoy a day of rest and time with their friends and family.

Matt and Fred made a different sort of delivery today.  In honor of the 75th birthday of Eggo Waffles, Red Front teamed up with Kellogg's to give away a chest freezer full of waffles.  Phyllis Mosher of Harrisonburg was our lucky winner.  We will also be donating 76 boxes of waffles to the Harrisonburg Salvation Army in Phyllis' name.  Congratulations!







In case you missed seeing our Kellogg's display, you can view pictures here.  We changed up our rocket display a little to recognize that General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios is America's favorite cereal (according to Nielsen sales data). 

View more pictures of this display here.

     It's that time of year again when we build a fun back to school display partnering with Kellogg's.  This year Fred wanted to have a rocket display, so we're blasting off with Tony and his friends for a happy new school year.  Stop by and see our rocket and our school bus loaded with great snacks and treats.  Kellogg's and Keebler can help the kids start out the day with a healthy breakfast and be a great addition to lunchtime as well.


   We're also celebrating the 75th birthday of Eggo waffles by giving away a chest freezer full of Eggo Waffles.  75 boxes of waffles will also be given to the Harrisonburg Salvation Army in the winner's name.  Find an entry form in our weekly ad or print on here.  Place the form in the box by the freezer.  The drawing will be help August 17.

We've started picking tomatoes and cucumbers from our garden, so that means it's time to think about canning.  Red Front has canning supplies all year long (find them in aisle 9), but right now we also have some special displays with jars, lids, seasoning mixes and spices.  If you're making salsa or pickles, you'll find Mrs. Wage's and Ball tomato and cucumber mixes.  We also have variety of fruit pectins to help with your jams and jellies.  Our jars range from 4oz jelly jars to 1/2 gallon wide mouth jars, with 1/2 pints, pints, and quarts in the middle.  We have both Kerr and Ball lids and also  lids with rings.  If you are new to canning, you might consider the Ball Discovery Kit to help you get started.

With supplies from Red Front, you CAN do it!
