The event was previously set for last Saturday, but after the heavy snowfall that began Friday afternoon and continued into Saturday, owner Beth Hutchinson decided to postpone for a week – weather permitting.
Still, Hutchinson opened The Corner Spot last Saturday anyway, inviting people to come in for coffee and pastries.
She said she was surprised by how many people showed up Saturday, even with the snow still falling and the roads covered with a white blanket.
“What a sweet day!” she posted on Facebook. “We did NOT expect so many customers, but we are so grateful!”
She added that the business would be operating from now on with its regular hours: Monday-Friday from 7 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; and Sunday, noon-4 p.m.
The Corner Spot is in the former location of the Sweet Café, in the same building as the former Archer’s food market.
Archer’s, which was on the other side of the building at 15 W. Norris Road, remains closed.
Hutchison, who lives in Clinton, created The Corner Spot in November, and moved her Vintage Floral Designs business into the back room of the space.
She has opened the front room as a public space, offering grad-and-go food, coffee, and more.
Besides the coffee and food, the front area holds the artisan market, and also is available for use as a workshop for artists, she said.
Some flowers will be available for sale there, as well.
She is now taking orders for Valentine’s Day flowers, according to the Facebook page.
Outside vendors are providing the food she sells in the shop.
