Greetings!

Ahhh...March!  Spring will be here shortly and I think we are all ready for winter to end!   As you can see by the holiday lists below, there is a lot to celebrate.  This is National Peanut month along with St. Patrick's Day and the first day of Spring. Please note our new hours for the store.
 
Just to brag a bit, Tre Sorelle participated in the Lorain County Red Cross Chocolate Festival Event last month and came home with the "Best Sample" trophy. We were in competition with over thirty vendors and won with our Panforte with Port and our Sherry Marzipan.
 
Sincerely,
Judi Horchler & Jan Beck
