Bad News, Good News


A buyer was lined up for The Perfect Pear, 51 Main Street, Chester, but, as is so often the case with these types of things, it fell through the last minute. While not great news for the owner, Laura Grimmer, she has doubled down on her promise to keep the kitchenwares store open until she finds just the right buyer, by offering a series of in-store demo classes through April—Valentine’s Day Desserts in February, knife skills in March, and pie crust in April. But move quickly if you are interested. The first class, in January, sold out within several minutes of her sending out the email notification. To sign up for the others, visit www.eventbrite.com and search for “Perfect Pear.” In the meantime, if you are looking for a fun stocking stuffer, stop by the store for a cookie cutter or two.
