WINNEMUCCA - Members of the Humboldt Hospital Auxiliary has seen a flurry of activity over the past week as they have prepared the Poke & Peek Thrift Shop for the coming cold months.
"Oh, everything is looking so good up there," beamed Humboldt Hospital Auxiliary President Kathleen Schlicht, while discussing this season's changeover from spring and summer to fall and winter. "The winter jackets and coats are gorgeous!"
The shop, located at 3200 Bengochea Circle, also has debuted its Halloween merchandise, including decorations and costumes in sizes from infant to adult. Some Thanksgiving items are also available.
The shop was closed Wednesday, Sept. 28, to allow members ample time to complete the switchover. The store will open once again to the public from noon to 4 p.m. today and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Poke & Peek is the sole source of income for the Humboldt Hospital Auxiliary, an all-volunteer organization distinguished by members' pink coats.
