Greetings to All:
I wanted to let everyone know that here at Willow Creek Taxidermy we have made the decision to close the Retail side of our Bird Taxidermy Service. The time has come in my life where I am finally going to retire (for sure this time), and enjoy the things that I really have not had the time to enjoy.
Alyssa and I find it very important to ensure that we deliver high quality service to all our customers for each and every mount. With me retiring and only Alyssa working on mounts, we would no longer be able to meet those requirements! We will still be working throughout the year to get all of our existing retail customer’s birds finished within our turnaround time.
Alyssa, Deb and I want to thank all our customers over the years for your business. It has been a privilege to work with each and every one of you and we will never forget it! A lot of you have become good family friends that we will cherish forever!
For me, I am off to enjoy the best hunting, fishing, and the outdoors that the Pacific Northwest has to offer! And more importantly, spend a lot more time with my Granddaughter spoiling her rotten.
Talk with all of you soon. John
