Penny’s birthday is tomorrow and we have family driving up from Maryland for the occasion. Because her birthday is sandwiched between two holidays, things tend to get very rushed and I throw together a small last minute party for her. Luck for me, she’s still too young to know the difference right now.
I wanted to do something to make her feel special, so this morning I called The Popcorn Loft to see if we could stop in. This is a new family-owned business in our area and several of my friends have been telling me I should go check it out. They have about 75 different flavors of popcorn, which they make fresh in their store, as well as fudge and old-fashioned candy, taffy, and sodas.
The ladies behind the counter were super friendly, getting tons of samples for the kids (even Birthday Cake flavored popcorn for Penny) and giving us free reign to explore the store for a little while.
It is like a cross between an upscale candy shop in New York City and an old time penny candy store, with a heavy focus on popcorn.
My kids decided they liked the Oreo popcorn best, so we bought 3 mini bags and they threw in a fourth bag for free. I’m not sure if that was a blogger perk or just because we’re lucky enough to live in a community where people do nice things like that all the time.
If you are local, stop in and see Angie and Steve at The Popcorn Loft as soon as you can. It’s a very cool experience and the kids really liked it!
(Plus, I feel like I should get bonus points for this, all of those glass jars were still in tact when we left!)
This is not a sponsored post. I decided to drive to this store and write about it all by me onesies.
