After swapping spaces with Woody’s Mercantile, Danforth Pewter reopened at 7 Central Street on Friday morning. “We are so happy to have Danforth Pewter back open again in their new, beautiful space,” Beth Finlayson, Executive Director of Woodstock’s Chamber of Commerce, said to a small crowd gathered by the storefront. The shop’s new manager, Hayley Bauer, held up an oversized pair of scissors and cut a ribbon to officially welcome the public.
Bauer is not the only new employee, however, since the company also recently acquired a new CEO. Bauer plans to add to her staff later in the summer to handle increased foot traffic.
From now into December, Danforth will be doing monthly giveaways. “This month, we’re doing a Father’s Day giveaway, which is a free Celtic fatherhood knot keyring with a $75 purchase,” Bauer said enthusiastically. “You can also enter to win a trip to Middlebury, all expenses paid, and that will be the grand prize. In July, it’s going to be a complete ornament set; we have had annual ornaments since the 1980s, so you would win an entire collection.”
