Kennett Classic Will NOT be open this weekend, internal only.

Kennett Classic Will NOT be open this weekend, internal only. Earlier it was thought we could have a surplus sale preview this weekend, but we found that to be unworkable. The surplus sale opens with special hours at 7PM on Tuesday 3/19/24. Please visit kennettclassic.com for an up-to-date status of hours and news. We will activate online ordering prior to going live on Tuesday. This will give people the ability to buy now and pick up later. https://kennettclassic.com/surplus/ - the latest inventory https://kennettclassic.com/contact.cfm - how to sign up for the mailing list. Thanks for your patience. Bill
