When Maddie and I heard that Scheels (a sporting goods store)
was building a new bigger and better store, we both gave a
shrug and said " hmph - big deal - we don't shop there much
anyway."

| Not her red jeep, but a very cool monster jeep and great photo op! |
But . . .
the new store is AMAZING!
Holy cow -- it is gigantic!
One of the biggest features is a Ferris Wheel!
Yes, let's go on the Ferris Wheel while we're shopping!
What. A. Blast!
According to their press release -- there are 60 different
specialty areas! Some of the highlights
include a gorgeous aquarium as you walk in;
 |
| Do you see the little fishies swimming behind her? |
Plus, a bowling alley, a yummy cafe (with free samples
of fudge -- how many is too many when
requesting free fudge samples??? No limit, I say)!
There's also a gorgeous home decor section, LEGO World,
a candy store, BIG RED stuff, of course, and
also loads of stuffed animals (I don't mean the kind you take to bed)
in addition to the
the usual sporting goods stuff!

| Yikes - is that an Elk?? |
Oh, there are also some animatronic characters including
Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson.
Don't want to study your social studies book --
check out what Thomas Jefferson says as he
works on the Declaration of Independence!
If you haven't been to Scheels yet and you are local,
run, do not walk, circle that parking lot repeatedly to find a parking space
and spend some time there.
Don't forget --ask for a sample of fudge!
