Every Friday night, the best of the best in produce fills Pollasky Ave in Old Town between 5th and 4th. There is LIVE music to dance to or just enjoy, LOTS of wonderful food choices and best of all, it's FREE (of course, you have to pay for the food and the produce, but the entertainment is free!) Another tradition continnues as well as many of the local merchants, including ALL OF ME, stay open late, to give you a chance to browse, shop, cool off or just wander around.

Old Town Clovis Welcomes Rodeo

This weekend is the Annual Clovis Rodeo. It started Thursday night with Extreme Bullriding at the Rodeo Grounds where 40 cowboys rode really tough bulls! Out of a total of 50 rides, there were only 11 successful 8 sec rides. I mean, REALLY tough bulls! My sister came from the Bay Area and she and I really enjoyed the show! Friday night was the opening of the regular rodeo along with a concert. This morning was the annual Rodeo Parade! It was AMAZING! We plopped our chairs out on Pollasky and enjoyed horses, cars, bands, and so much more for nearly 2 hours. Loads of fun! Here are some pictures!

Girlfriends Events a BIG HIT

All of Me has been hosting Girlfriend's Night for a few years now, but it's really taken off recently. It's a great way for you to host a party for your friends without any fuss or bother, or cleaning your house, or cooking! Here's what you do.... You contact Ellen at All of Me and choose a date. It can be in the evening after store hours, on a Sunday morning or afternoon, or whenever. You invite up to 15 of your friends for the date and time chosen. All of Me takes care of the rest. We'll have refreshments ready for you, everyone gets a discount during the event and the hostess gets a special gift. It's a terrific opportunity to introduce your friends to our great bargains, and have a chance to try on things just for fun, help a friend shop for the perfect outfit, AND you get to visit with each other in a relaxed atmosphere (no having the waiter come by every 5 minutes to see if you're ever going to leave!) It's a fun time for all as you can see!

Quest for the perfect shoe

We often get requests for particular items in the store, ad I keep a "wish list" for customers and try and notify them when an item I know they'll like comes in. This happened the other day, when I took in a terrific shoe consignment. I have one customer who has a particular fondness for "pointy toe shoes", so when this consignment came in, I took a picture with my cell phone of a fabulous pair of green pointy toe shoes, and she was there before the day was out. Unfortunately the picture I took of her with her "find" didn't come out, but here are a couple of others that came in the same day. She might have taken home another pair, but she's trying to cut back. Would you call that a twelve step program........?

Be sure to stop in on a regular basis, but if you have a particular item in mind, make SURE to tell me so I can keep it in my "wish list" file! You just never know what I'll find...

WINTER'S COMING!

No, really, it is!!, in only about 8 or 9 months. So NOW is the best time to shop for your winter coats at All of Me! That's right! Now through March 22, ALL COATS are 50% off the regular price! See, it really IS time to buy that coat (of course, you will need to pack it away for several months, but won't you be excited next fall, when you pull it out! Just like Christmas! and such a bargain! Of course, you all know that there's ALWAYS something half price here at All of Me! AND something 25% off! And, well, something new everyday! So stop in! For those who don't know, my winter hours are Tues-Fri 10-6, Sat 10-5. I also schedule shopping by appointment! Give me a call or stop in!
