Thanksgiving Drive to Rockford & Hurd Mercantile

We took the advise of Inland NW Homes and Lifestyles magazine, and drove our folks out to Rockford, WA and the Hurd Mercantile the day after Thanksgiving. Bob and his Dad told us they would wait in the car while my mother-in-law and I looked around. An hour later, they finally came in to see what was keeping us. There was just so much to see. This amazing gift shop consists of 16 different themed departments, a vintage country, shabby-chic, cowboy, 40's - 50's, American primitive, modern kitchen gadgets, seaside stuff, kids stuff, up-scale clothes and accessories, bed, bath and more. You really can't take it all in on your first visit. The men ended up ordering coffee and doing a little looking around on their own. The 8,000 square foot shop is housed in a century-old building that is a tourist attraction in it's own right.
Saturday, December 6th is their holiday open house. It should be enchanting. Go!
