This past September, we saw a strange shift in the foot traffic to our office. Mornings slowed down a little bit, allowing us to work on other items and work submitted to the office. Meanwhile, our afternoons got busier with customers, and we’d often close the doors while still completing some customers’ transactions. This shift in foot traffic may be due to school schedules settling in, as parents’ mornings are busy getting kids to school. Whatever it is, we want to thank all of our patrons for the patience they have shown, especially in the busy afternoon times. We know that waiting isn’t always easy, and we do our best to help people in a timely manner.
Speaking of waiting, we know a lot of customers are waiting for their new license plates to arrive. The new license plate designs have been a hit! In fact, as of September 1st, more than 13,000 of the black and white design plates had been ordered, with 8,300 of those being personalized. The white and teal throwback style plates are the second most popular, with just over 9,000 sold. If you are still waiting to get your plates, please know they can take 4-8 weeks to arrive. If you still haven’t received them after 8 weeks, please give us a call.
Next month, we’ll begin to offer the winter Parks & Recreation permits, like the Park n Ski passes and snowmobile stickers (which we offer both 1- and 2-year snowmobile sticker options). Stop by soon to get ready for winter fun!
