Board & Brush in Roscoe is Closing...For Good

Full disclosure, I was pretty shocked when I read this news on Facebook the other day. I totally get 2020 was a ROUGH year for everyone, especially small business owners, but wasn't everybody doing DIY paint projects to keep themselves entertained during the stay-home phase of this pandemic? Apparently, the reason for Board & Brush Roscoe's closing goes a whole lot deeper than that...

Board & Brush Roscoe does not have workshops scheduled for this last week they are open, but you can still buy take-home DIY kits on their website, boardandbrush.com/roscoe.

Here's what I'm thinking all us DIY lovers should do this week, we need to buy a board kit for every season, and some for everyday use as well. Not only will doing them keep us occupied in the months ahead, but it's a fine way to let the Board & Brush Roscoe folks know we'll miss them and appreciate all the memories they helped us make. To Sarah Doyle and family, I wish you the best of luck and I hope you see nothing but brighter and happier days ahead.
