Happy Labor Day
30
Aug
Well folks, Labor Day is upon us, and we are still working our tails off. Our paddling season continues throughout the year.
Sorry for the lack of any decent blog content (not that any of it ever was decent in the first place!) This Labor Day weekend, I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation to all the folks that made this summer so extra special.
Thank you to all my wonderful coworkers. Together, we met the challenges of getting the new kayak shop open and fully functioning. With your help we were up and running almost as soon as we closed on the building. Many “Helper Elves” participated in the process as well, donating time, materials, labor, and the ultimate, their friendship. Customers, you are so appreciated. Thank you for believing in me. Every night on my drive home (on the nights I don’t sleep on the floor of the kayak shop), I shake my head in disbelief that I have been so blessed to be seeing my every dream come true. I can never write in this blog enough about how grateful I continue to be. The retail shop, kayak school, and expedition trips are a passion of mine beyond comprehension to most. Let my thanks to you be continually earning your friendship as much as your patronage.
As we continue to grow, my promise for OKC Kayak is to always be the most knowledgeable and personable source for everything paddlesports anywhere in the state, if not the entire region. We will continue to embrace the amazing fellowship that grows with each additional customer and every single employee. You are my family. This said, know that whatever your need may be, we will take care of you long beyond the kayaks.
If you are reading this blog and have yet to become a part of all this, now is your chance. Come out for a social paddle, join us for a trip, or stop by the shop at 220 N. Western. Better yet, if you too are longing for a way to be an active and positive part of your local community family, inquire about becoming a “Helper Elf!”
Ever so grateful,
Dave (my muscles should be bigger than this with all the boats I carried this summer) Lindo
