A Little Taste of UFS

"I know you guys have that tasting after Thanksgiving."

That's what we hear from customers most often when asking if they've attended our tastings. The truth is you don't have to fight the Black Friday crowds to see what all the fuss is about. UFS has between 30 & 40 smaller tastings throughout the year.

We bring in our product specialists and industry experts to help answer your questions and develop your palate. We don't want you endlessly wandering the aisles. We want to share the experience with you, making it easy for you to get honest answers and the right product at the right price. The best part... IT'S FREE!!! That's right, all you have to bring is your I.D., and be over 21 of course.

Come join the fun! Our next tasting is this Saturday 8/18 from 12-4pm. We will be sampling Sierra Nevada Products. Hope we see you then.

Home Repairs and Alcohol Mix Well... right?

UFS has some hidden treasures, one of them being Hardware Terry (an affectionate nick name). Terry has worked for UFS for a number of years and she excels in the hardware dept. If you need to know how to repair a toilet, rewire an outlet, paint a wall or build a house, Terry is your "Go To" Person. She can walk you through it as well as showing you where the necessary supplies are. UFS carries tools, paint, nails, fasteners, cabinet hardware, and everything you need to get the job done. Before you leave make sure you stop in the Beer department for a six pack to celebrate when your repairs are completed.

As if we needed another reason to have a good time

As I'm sure you're aware BED BUGS have reappeared and are becoming an issue. As such many researchers are studying the problem. A study from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln found that bed bugs avoid blood with a high alcohol content. Feasting on human blood is how these little critters grow and reproduce. Those feeding on alcohol laced blood eat less and lay fewer eggs than their sober counterpoints. The more alcohol in the blood they consumed the less they grew. These finding will be presented at the National Conference on Urban Entomology in Atlanta. Why do you suppose they don't do research on how to get rid of the pests? Is someone telling us it's ok to drink more especially before bed?
