We departed for Winnipeg, Canada today and will be working on setting up shop there over the next few weeks. We presently do NOT have a return date confirmed. Due to our travel plans and the nature of our trip all correspondence and orders will be put on temporary hold until further notice! We will work on getting back to emails as time permits but will be spending the bulk of our time readying here for an "outpost" into the Canadian market.
