Happy early 4th of July!  In the cover picture for this blog, we had to unload the trailer before going to get a load of furniture.  So, what better place to unload than in our building!  As we begin to transition to our new building, we will post our new contact information on our website, so look for that change in the next couple of weeks. We thank you for your patience as we begin this transition process, and we will keep you posted on the progress (see the 3 pictures below of Day-1 move-in).  ~Christopher Burnett - Owner

As you can tell from the title, the summer heat and humidity are setting in here in Kentucky! During an interesting conversation last summer at a hobby shop in Louisville where I get my paint and metal, the manager made a statement that people in our area retreat to their toy rooms specifically during the cold and snow of winter along with the heat and humidity of summer.

Continuing to make the best of Covid-19 shutdown by getting in some late spring cleaning! I was sitting here trying to think of a spectacular introduction for this week's blog, and unfortunately nothing came to me at all!!!

First and foremost, here's to hoping each of you have a happy, safe, and healthy Memorial Day Weekend!     Week 4 of our building's project has been another week's success!  The big garage doors have been installed, so the exterior is looking more complete.  Click "read more" to see pictures of the progression of the interior's retail area and warehouse area.  We're now in the process of looking for shelving and how to best utilize the space of the retail store.   As always, thanks to each of you for supporting Burnett Farm Toys, LLC!  Enjoy your holiday weekend!  ~Christopher Burnett, Owner  

"Come to the building with the blue roof".  That's what we'll tell everyone to come to when our building is complete.  We were originally thinking of a red roof but then wanted something to stand out among the other businesses in the area - so, the blue roof was born! See the end of the blog for two pictures of Week 3's building progress. Hope everyone is staying healthy during this time of Covid-19!  As you may have seen on our FB post on 4-29-2020, the GATS show in Dallas has been cancelled for August 2020. We are highly disappointed, but...
