Business Feature of the Month!
Pin Up Salon
For those of you who have not strolled up to the 4th floor recently, there have been some mighty big changes! We have welcomed Pin Up Hair Salon, located in Suite 467, to the building.

According to owner Heather Desaulniers, "Pin Up is an eco-conscious salon, using natural/organic color and product lines. We try to reduce our waste any way we can by using less, reclaiming building materials, buying local, thinking long term, even composting ! We are constantly learning how to better ourselves and our industry. We would like to offer special pricing to our mill neighbors, $10-15 off each service. We are open Wednesday - Saturday for now, but will be adding more stylists and hours for spring!"

Please stop by to say hello!

Coming up next month: Met Life

Reserve your trade table by emailing Brittany Verville.

Here is how it works: Mill businesses exhibit for one month. The mills will provide the table and the linens. The business is responsible for setting up the display, monitoring the display while it's up (making sure display is in good order, keeping business cards supplied etc.), and removing the display when the month is done. Brittany will keep the calendar and remind folks when time is up, and when the next business can set up.

We are already booking into the next few months, so please sign up now!
