Archelaus infiltrates rural Maryland!

On 1 April 2010, the Main Event, a party supply store in Mount Airy, is moving from its former digs on South Main Street to the exalted Twin Arch Shopping Center, where it is taking over premises formerly occupied by Carousel Cards and Gifts. In what we consider a shrewd move, the owners have decided to cater to the established habits of Carousel’s loyal customers by selling cards and gifts in the new location, while also, of course, continuing to provide party supplies to their own fanatical customer base. In what we consider an even shrewder move, the owners have declined to stock merchandise from the likes of Hallmark and American Greetings, in favor of cards from smaller, more interesting manufacturers. Finally, in what we consider the shrewdest move of all, they have opted to carry a solid supply of Archelaus cards!
We therefore encourage everyone within driving distance to descend upon Mount Airy on this auspicious occasion (and afterwards) to purchase Egyptian mongooses, Peruvian llamas, misbegotten sea creatures, and other popular favorites!
