New Year Needs New Grocer!

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Hazelton Mall is seeking a new grocer! 

Have you ever wanted to manage a store in a NEW MALL? Well, here’s your chance!  We are looking for YOU!                       

The store front is located at the focal point of the mall on main street, and if you have ever seen the mall, you will agree it is one grand piece of architecture!  The mall has a modern space for this greatly needed grocery. 

The mall store has been blessed with two different proprietors from our community.  However, both pervious operators left the business because of other commitments.  Right now the anticipation in Hazelton is to have another permanent grocery store open soon.          

Please ’scope it out’.  I trust someone reading this column will respond, or might know of someone interested who will respond.  Our community needs a store, to supply our area cooks and bakers, and the general needs of the community and it’s organizations.  Who knows, new proprietors might also find ways to include various items and services over and above the grocery needs.  Regardless, we are looking for a store operator!  Come to Hazelton and see us soon!          

Hazelton is a wonderful small community.  Check out this web page.  It will answer most of your questions about our community. You will see a picture of the mall and entrance to the store as well as many othter business and social interests in town.  Click on  http://www.hazeltonnorthdakota.com/default.asp    Or email info@hazeltonnorthdakota.com  for more personalized information or maybe a tour. 

Our community is busy planning for 2008.  I am hoping YOU can be part of our plans.      

Hazelton Lights Up Winter & Welcomes Santa!

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Hazelton Park was illuminated as the citizens celebrated the beginning of the Christmas Season!  Carolers sang as the park board served chili and hot cider. The park board had out done themselves again this year.  Good job!  The park, east of highway 83, is filled with decorated trees, fences and special displays. The twinkling lights send a quiet and but joyous greeting to all that pass by.  Like magic, the streets, businesses and local homes caught the fever and now sport more joyous displays!  Drive through and say hello as you enjoy the sights! On December 7 & 8th, the ”2nd Annual Holiday Happening” was held at the Hazelton Prairie Mall.  The days were light and merry, with tables full of bustling crafters, merchants and bake sales. Their products brought happiness to all as the town opened it arms to those attending the event.  Santa appeared December 8th to greet all the children and finalize his list for those boys and girls - and he was checking it twice to find out who was naughty or nice.  He promises to be back on Christmas Eve to surprise these children.  December is the time for School Christmas Programs, as well as annual appreciation days, held by local businesses.  What fun and good times to visit neighbors and friends while attending these events!  Small town is such fun!  The merchants appreciate all their clients.  But most of all, I appreciate the faithful businesses serving the town of Hazelton and our surrounding communities.   Applause to you!  Your service in our community is vital! We wish you much success in all your ventures.  Merry Christmas and Happy 2008 to EVERYONE.
