A big thank you to Pierce County’s Economic Development Department for using one of their ads in The News Tribune to encourage shopping local in Puyallup and Sumner.  Thanks also to the Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce for coordinating getting items from stores.  Not every store could be reached, but the ad, scheduled to run next week, should encourage shopping in all stores in our city.  Can you spot all the items from Sumner?

Hint: try finding Seahawk and UW car mats, screwdriver sets, Blue Fuel car battery charger and electronic battery chargers from Napa Auto Parts of Sumner; an Electra Cruiser from Bonney Lake Bicycle Shop (in Sumner); a Farm-to-Table Calendar, Chirpy top wine spout, Gurgle Pot, Stonewall Doughnut Mix, All American Doughnut baking tin, Santa Apron, dishtowel set from Simple Tidings & Kitchen; Brighton necklaces, Toms shoes, Vera Bradley handbag, Hobo bag clutch, and holiday burlap sack from A Picket Fence; Kuka teal retro side chair, industrial floor lamp, and two bejeweled decorator pillows from The Old Cannery; one Single Cup Brewer from Keurig; pie from Berryland Cafe; bags of coffee beans from Dillanos Coffee Roasters, coffee from Craft.19; Rudolph! and Too High & Too Steep from A Good Book; Seahawk pet wear and plush toys from Sumner Veterinary Hospital; poinsettias from Windmill Gardens; Mona B recycled purse from DL Country Barn; Seahawks knit cap, Strideline socks and 12s leg warmers/hat from My Closet Envy (MCE); Annie Sloan wax and paint set from Kristi’s Country Store; Rebel Junk paint from Off the Beaten Path; retro dish towel from A Junkers Nest; a stuffed bunny rabbit from Sugarbabies and a jar of local honey and The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook from Jubilee Naturals.  We wish we could have gotten to more, but that’s an impressive list, Sumner!
