On September 25th the staff and owners of Reimer Concrete and Building Supplies pulled out all the stops in their official opening of Artisan Hall. With colourful balloons and a festive atmosphere, owners Matt and Perla Reimer and their family served free hot dogs and drinks as well as offering some nice door and raffle prizes. Some of the vendors added to the prizes, so there was a lot for people to win. Free stuff brings people out and created a line up at the till... seldom seen in this country business.
Three local charities were supported. The Roseau River Bible Camp and Roseau River Park both received sizeable donations from the purchase of raffle tickets. The Reimers also encouraged the recipients of the free food to pay it forward with a donation to the Roseau River Park. Some garden vegetables and plants were available as well, with donations going towards a plant medicine project at South Roseau Rapids.
Artisan Hall opened in March 2021 inside Reimer Concrete and Building Supplies. It has become a one-stop shop for handmade, locally produced goods. A portion of the store has been transformed into a showroom for works by 25+ local craftspeople and authors.
Artisan Hall currently offers walking sticks, furniture, children’s clothing and accessories, skin care and bath products, wool bedding, antique quilts, honey, hot sauce, topical balms and salves, rustic signs, wreaths, and centerpieces, solid wood cutting boards and coasters, afghans, cloth bags (to replace some of the plastic bags in your life), and all occasion greeting cards. They also have adult and children's books by 5 local authors. If you're looking for a unique gift for a friend or family member, remember to check out Artisan Hall, less than a mile west off Hwy 59 on 13N.
