1999 OPEN HOUSE Our fourth annual Department 56 Open House has been set for Thursday evening, November 11th, from 6pm-10pm. This is a week earlier than in the past. This is because we are proud to have Judith Price, Ms. Lit Town, as our special guest. She is the well known national spokesperson for Department 56. This will be our best event yet! Try not to miss this one. 1998 OPEN HOUSE We hope that you were one of the over four hundred people who attended our third annual Dept. 56 Open House. There was plenty of food, fun, and prizes that helped make it a memorable evening. Special thanks to Peter & Jeanne George of The Village Chronicle for being our special guests.

As a Gold Key Dealer, we are able to offer these Season’s Bay houses with special first edition stamps and gold flags. These pieces are offered on a first come, first serve basis as supplies are limited. Reserve yours now before these elusive first edition pieces are gone!

Check out the new licensed pieces in Snow Village including Harley Davidson and Ford. The Ford Dealership has a revolving car in the showroom!
