A great local business! Beautiful displays and they literally have everything. Helpful staff. My family enjoys all the free extras they throw in for the community. Fa ll Fest, areas to take photos, bouncy houses, popcorn, to name a few. I'm always happy to shop at Wallaces and support this local business.
