Minnetonka Moccasin Purse Sale
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
Oooof Daaaa
Gosh it is fall already. I'm going crazy laying around in a Hospital Bed lately wondering how in the heck my back ever got as bad as it has. It is crazy the amount of drugs, shots, and adjustments have been done to relieve the pain in my back and all I can think of is "How the heck am I going to get out hunting?"
Don't get me wrong. I have been thinking about the store a little bit. Kate has a sweet sale going on right now at the store having to do with a Shipping deal on Sheepskin Moccasins, Boots, and Slippers. If you are thinking about buying any sheepskin this fall, now would be the time to act on that special. The fall leaves are beautifully colored golden, red, yellow, and brown and I can tell when someone stops in the store that there is something special about buying Minnetonka Moccasins in the Northwoods during the fall.
I could say my focus has been on my classes. I've been working really hard to help my classes learn more than they ever have before and then this stupid back acts up and I miss a week of school. By the time I get back into my classroom, my students are going to be ready to kill me. I don't think they really care if I am broken or not, they are just a little worried that I'm getting more time away from the classroom then they are and they don't see that as fair.
My biggest concern is hunting. I watch out my hospital window and imagine giant 10 pointers walking through the parking lot. I imagine all the big dear in the county are right now taking a siesta next to my stands and blinds and there is nothing I can do about it. I 'm concerned that I will be able to get out at all this year. On top of that my wife, 2 daughters, and 2 sons all want me to hunt with them and only them. Well you know how well that will work out. Am I whining?? heck yaaaa! I have been shooting my bow religiously for the past 3 months and now the season is here and I'm too banged up to get up in my tree stands. Such is life. You take the good with the bad. Sometimes the bad can be a little overwhelming.

Fall is right around the corner
Well her is comes! Fall it seems crazy to think of fall shopping after going through that heat wave but it is right around the corner. Don't forget to stock up your kiddies on Minnetonka Moccasins and Peace Moccasins for the school year. As a school teacher, I watch more and more kids choose moccasins as their daily footwear. I recommend a durable fringe boot for the girls and a boat mocc or slippers for the boys.

Ice Castle is Finished
Well the Eagle River Ice Castle is finished. You can see a video of it here: http://www.keyc.com/node/46030
This is probably one of the greatest projects that Eagle River does each and every winter. The fire department has to wait until the ice is the right thickness on Silver Lake before they can get the 2500 ice blocks used for making the castle. They finished the castle in time for Friday Night Thunder at the Eagle River Championship snowmobile derby. Hopefully lots of people stop to visit the Ice Castle and then visit the Arrow Gift Shop for some Minnetonka Moccasins and Peace Moccasins. What would be really neat is if some of the snowmobile ladies stopped in to look at our Mariana Jewelry

Peace Moccasins Updated
Well we finally got more of our Peace Moccasins updated on our new webpage www.moccasinsandgifts.com. It takes us awhile to update our webpages sometimes. We just wanted to remind everyone that although Minnetonka Moccasin does not allow us to ship our Minnetonka Moccasins overseas, we are allowed to ship our Peace Moccasins overseas. Many of our overseas customers were disappointed by Minnetonka's decision. As a company, they have accounts overseas and thought that our shipments interfered with these accounts. Many of the Peace Moccasins are very similar to some of the Minnetonka styles. All we are saying, is give peace a chance - - Lenon.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Well the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel posted a nice article about Eagle River here: http://www.jsonline.com/features/travel/112674534.html. It is always nice when your town is recognized for its activity. Eagle River has a population of only 1500 people but it seems like we have a major event going on every week of the year. Coming up we have our World Championship Snowmobile Derby. I can literally see the track from my classroom window and Northland Pines High School. When the derby is in town, you can can hear the whine of the racing sleds anywhere in the Eagle River Area.
One thing I would like to see in our town as a business owner is one of the those hotels with the water parks built in. It seems like our community is ready for one of those giant structures, I just hope that when they put one in it is somewhere downtown. There seems to be a lot of unused real estate in the downtown Eagle River area. I think people like to spend time in downtown Eagle River, but it seems like our town keeps wanting to move the people out of the downtown area. A water park would be a perfect place for the thousands of winter visitors to stay and it would probably be full during Derby Weekend. This would help make our downtown area a more vibrant area and in-turn our community would feel the benefits of having stores that aren't closed during the winter months. Finally a place to shop for the Eagle River resident. Our visitors love buying Minnetonka Moccasins but they need more diversity to really enjoy the downtown experience

Shipping Internationally
Well we were just looking at our sales and we are down a significant percentage for the month of December. We were a little frustrated with this so we sent a survey to our customers. Many of our customers were frustrated that we don't ship overseas anymore. That is not true. We are only unable to ship Minnetonka Moccasins overseas. Minnetonka has set up accounts in Europe and around the world. To prevent us from competing with those accounts Minnetonka has asked us not to ship outside the US. Even to Canada. Essentially if we would have continued to ship Minnetonka Moccasins outside the U.S., they could take away our account and that would set us back substantially.
To help out our customers outside the U.S., we picked up another line very similar to Minnetonka. In fact, this company was started by former employees of Minnetonka. The line is called Peace Moccasins. Peace Moccasins are a high quality shoe and they are very good about keeping us stocked when we run out. If you love Minnetonkas but are outside the U.S., I recommend Peace Moccasins.
