WINTER CLEARANCE SALE

Time to clean house for the New Year! We’ve gotten together and marked down a number of grocery and general merchandise products (50-75% off) - oh, and lots of great deals on wine. While our supplies and products last which won’t be long at these prices!

TROLLEY TREATS AND TINSEL

St. Lucia (otherwise known as the “old world Santa”) from Betsy Ratzch Pottery wandered through our market several times patiently stopping to be photographed with our young visitors who enjoyed a small bonfire and “s’mores” on our patio! They enjoyed a lot of them - in all Grand River Grocery helped serve over 200 s’mores!!! The market was full of samples and we were glad to see families strolling the Village of Ada … our only glitch … the trolley broke down and couldn’t make it! Thanks to Betsy Ratzch for sharing her Santa with us! Kids also enjoyed “The Star of Bethlehem” at Ada Community Church and ornament making at The Ada Historical Society.
