HAPPY NEW YEAR! As you have probably noticed the site has a new look! Please take the
time to look around and check out the changes and additions to our site this year.
We look forward to a wonderful 2007 season, seeing old friends at various events, and of
course, making new friends along the way!

OOPS! Our new Spam protection software has apparently been doing its job too well! We didn't
realize exactly how effective it was at blocking emails until we started getting messages from
many of you saying your emails were blocked when you tried to send!
We have been attempting to correct this problem, but it seems it takes a little bit of time, as we
have to 'train' our program which emails are spam and which are real... please bear with us as
we get this fixed, and let us know if you are continuning to have emails returned to you!

We are currently in the process of updating our site and installing a new photo program for
displaying photos. Some links may not function temporarily, but should be back up by about
1am. If you continue to have problems accessing any links, please contact us so we can correct
the problem!.

Starting in November, we began moving our office to an easily accessible location in Redding,
to allow people to find us a little easier. Little did we know that such a seemingly routine move
would turn into such a fiasco, trying to move equipment (and then trying to find needed files for
temporary set- up), set-up networks, and utilize office space. To disrupt business operations
further, we (our family) were suddenly faced with the need to move as well, putting all office work
'on hold' until we were able to get ourselves situated.

These last few chaotic months - while long and frustrating! - seem to be coming to an end and we
are able to apply more time to business hours again. We are still battling through the
disorganization that took over our office space, but are making daily progress and are excited
as we watch the new office (and new services we will be offering) develop. We apologize for the
delayed business operations and thank everyone who has been so patient while waiting for us
to get up and running "full speed" again!

We have been working overtime - developing a new system for our record keeping, orders,
shipments, and the online photo galleries - and we are pleased to say we expect this season to
yield faster shipping times on outgoing orders, as well as faster upload of shows in our photo
galleries! Be sure to watch for our New Services and New Catalog Items for the 2006 Season!

ATTENTION: updated October 19, 2005
Due to the catastrophic loss of all our information on the old web-server we have changed web
providers and are currently working as quickly as possible to get everything back up. Because
of the nature of losses sustained it became evident that it would be faster to simply start over
from scratch, as opposed to trying to piece the old website back together. We apologize for the
delay in viewing some of the events in the photo gallery, but hope to have our new gallery up
and fully functional soon. Please feel free to contact us requesting priority of any particular
events you are waiting to view.
If you have emailed us within the last couple of months or placed an order and have not had any
reply back please try contacting us again now, as we have changed our email over to the new
server, and haven't experienced any more problems retrieving emails.

Thank you for your patience as we work on giving our site its new 'face lift' and get our site back
on its feet!
