The month of July was so much fun, and we want to give the all of the credit to you – our customers!
Not only did you help us host an incredibly fun and successful 4-Year Anniversary Event, we were also able to raise a significant amount of money to support the recovery of Arnold Police Officer Ryan O’Connor, who was shot in the line of duty last year.
All your support means the world to us, and we feel so fortunate to be a part of such a thriving and charitable musical community.
4-Year Anniversary Event A Roaring Success
To celebrate four years(!) in the St. Louis community, last weekend’s anniversary event featured store-wide markdowns, free Gus’s pretzels, hourly door prizes, a raffle for gift cards and an attendance drawing for a free set of custom hand-wound Goez Pickups.
The turnout during the weekend was just awesome, so we want to thank everyone who was able to make it out. We would also like to give a huge congratulations to our giveaway winners from the weekend:
- Tory Oberreither – $100 Gift Card
- Megan McFadden – $100 Gift Card
- Dominic Groaning – Custom Goez Pickups
We look forward to continuing to provide a place for our local musicians to trade in and trade up, and next year should be even better!
$3,000 Raised For Arnold Police Officer Ryan O’Connor
We also want to give a special shout-out to one of our most generous customers, Marty Divers.
Earlier this month, Marty purchased a phenomenal Eric Clapton Stratocaster built by Brian Goez and assembled by Skip Goez that includes a high quality set of custom-wound Goez pickups.
The guitar sold for $1,500, and all proceeds benefited the family of local police officer Ryan O’Connor, who is still recovering from a gunshot sustained while on duty late last year. Additionally, Brian Goez matched the sale price bringing the total donation to $3,000!
Not only did Marty get an incredible guitar, he was able to assist a local hero injured serving our community at the same time – a true Win-Win! A special thanks are in order for both Marty and Brian for their generosity!
July was just an awesome month full of fun events and giving back, so we just want to take the opportunity to give a huge THANK YOU everyone who continues to support our business and community – we couldn’t do it without you!
