Seven Years!

The NAT is celebrating our SEVENTH (Seven! Can you believe it?!) anniversary this month, and we are taking a little stroll down memory lane. The NAT is one of the most interesting stops along Route 66, and we are so glad that we’ve been able to be a part of the already rich history of the store we call home.

A lot of work went into cleaning and fixing up The Historic Nat Ballroom. Getting ready for opening day was no small task, and we managed to make our grand opening one of our favorite memories!

Planning

A lot of planning went in to how the ballroom would be arranged and divided into booths. All of the potential vendors would come in to meet us at that little table, take a look at the floor plan, and pick their spot! That little table was where many wonderful relationships were made!

The Grand Opening was nothing short of magical! Our staff and vendors worked tirelessly to make this day memorable, and that it was. From ribbon cutting to the celebratory end-of-the-day drinks, it was more than we could have hoped for. We are incredibly grateful for the support that our town has shown us right from the start!

Since the Grand Opening, The NAT has grown more than we could have imagined. We’ve been able to meet so many people and build lasting relationships in the community. We are thankful to everyone who has made The NAT what it is today, and we’re looking forward to what the future holds.
