Upcoming Events!
I’m less than 12 months from retirement, time to figure out if I can do this for a living!
This spring looks to be quite busy, thankfully I’ve secured two new sources for whiskey and wine barrels. Until this happened I wasn’t able to get full wine barrels at all, and shipping of the staves alone was cost prohibitive. As of this Email I have 6 wine barrels and 3 whiskey barrels sitting ready to be taken apart and made into something with more on the way.
Barrel head guest books with the new laser
February 25th at the Double Tree in Manchester I’m setting up a booth at a bridal expo. The current plan is to have a whiskey barrel rocker raffled off, as well as have visitors sign the above guest book. Who are Tony and Alicia? No idea, but the date is the date I registered Kilted Moose Outdoor Furniture as a trade name with the state of NH. On top of these things, I’m going to have the smaller engraver on site to do custom items right then and there.
Homeland Heroes Great Gatsby Gala!
In August I sponsored a ride for a foundation in the name of a deceased NH Service Member and met Julie who runs Homeland Heroes. After a brief conversation, she and I struck a deal, which will include raffling off two whiskey barrel rockers and a barrel head side table. The event looks to be a lot of fun, we are definitely attending, if you want to join us please reach out to me as soon as you can. joe@kiltedmoose.com
This will be BIG!
And the final bit of expo related news, I’ve sent in my application to set up at the Made In NH Expo! Last year I laid out the groundwork to attend this event, the expo is 3 days and attracts thousands of visitors every year. This means I need lots of inventory and need to stand out from other vendors there. The event planners limit the number of overlapping booths so they aren’t flooded with too many of the same items. They’ve received my application, I’m hoping to hear from them soon with positive news. I will have chairs, rockers and engraved items for sale all weekend if I’m accepted!
I’m a registered LLC!
Closing this out with the biggest news of last year. I registered my business with the state as a LLC! Considering the time and effort I put into Kilted Moose this year, it just made the most sense.
