New and Reorganized Paint Racks

We’ve added several new paint colors to our Testors and Model Master Acrylic and Enamel Automotive paint racks. Just in time for Pinewood Derby season, you can select from all the new model paints at Dan’s. The new military colors should be available in the next week as well.

We’re reorganizing…even in the parking lot!

With the warm weather, we thought it might be a good idea to do some snow shuffling. Hopefully all this will melt before we get another big load. Otherwise we are running out of places to put it.

Money Printing Day at Dan’s

Today is our day to generate and print Reward Vouchers for our Dans’ Dividend Members who have accumulated 250 or more points. We’ve finished printing the $50 and $20 Vouchers. Now we are working on generating the $10 and $5 Vouchers. This weekend we’ll get them signed, folded and ready for mailing early next week.

Any accrued points not used to generate a voucher will remain in your account and be used toward next quarter’s reward which will be generated in April.

Remember to put your Reward Voucher into your wallet so you have it to spend on your next visit to Dan’s. This batch will expire on March 5th, 2013.

If you’re not a Dan’s Dividend Member yet, be sure to sign-up during your next visit. It’s free to join and you’ll keep earning points as long as you shop with us at least once each year.

Happy New Year

From our family to yours, we wish you a very happy, safe and especially FUN New Year.
We’ll be closed for new years day, Tuesday, January 1st.

Cork roadbed helps deaden the sound of the train wheels passing over the metal track and rail joints. It also provides a base under the track so you don’t need as much ballast for a finished look.
