We will give a $5,000 reward to the person(s) providing information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever shot and killed our beloved emu Mary. Her buddy Beau is beside himself with grief, and we are heartbroken at this act of horrible cruelty and hatred.

Come and see what is going on in the new Re-Tail Resale and Thrift store! It’s now open! Filled with donated items from people like YOU, the store has something for everyone! Our “library” is like shopping in a book store — everything is sorted by fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, and then sorted alphabetically. So, it’s easy to find the author or title that you’ve been looking for! We have antiques, glassware, sporting equipment, office equipment, kitchen cabinets, puzzles, children’s toys, framed art, and lots and lots of clothing! 
We are open from 10:00 until 6:00 Monday through Saturday, and Noon until 5:00 on Sunday.
We accept donations (at the back door, please!) daily until 2:00. All donations are tax deductible!
So come and see us, and come often! The selection changes daily! (Hourly, really, but I don’t expect people to come in and shop every hour….although it would be nice for the animals who benefit from your sales….)
And be sure to like us on Facebook!
Re-Tail, a thrift and resale store, opened in early January! It is located at 3503 Lafayette Blvd., Fredericksburg, Va., 22408. Monies raised will help support the animals of Rikki’s Refuge, as well as other animal groups in our area!
