Tis the season for shopping and hospitality

By Joan Janzen

The Plenty Coffee Shop has been a hub of activity during the month of December. Thanks to a few dedicated volunteers, coffee and delicious lattes are served to everyone coming through the doors of the coffee shop. Not only do visitors enjoy a good, old fashioned visit with friends, but they can also pick up a few Christmas gifts.

Local vendors have filled every nook and cranny in the shop with a wide variety of crafts, treats and stocking stuffers. Although it looked like they couldn’t possibly fit any more items in the cozy display, a stream of new products kept coming through their doors.

The ladies in attendance appreciate the convenience of having all these gift ideas available right in their home town. More importantly, they were enjoying the opportunity to visit with friends.

The Plenty Coffee Shop offers good old time Saskatchewan hospitality. The locals invited me to join in the conversation around the table, share a hot beverage, treats and some excellent shopping. It doesn’t get any better than that.
