The GREAT “First Customer” Race of 2015!

Who will it be this year? Over the years, a great rivalry has taken root among Abbott’s long-time customers… to WIN the distinction of being the first customer of the season! Our customers go to amazing lengths to win the race! Past customers have camped out from as far away as Wisconsin to have the bragging rights (and a free t-shirt). We open for the 2015 season May 1 at 11:30!
