So, tonight from 6:30 until almost 9pm I was at the new Cabela's in Lacey. My brother and uncle worked as electricians installing everything while the store was being built, and tonight was "contractors" night. Any folks that helped build the Cabela's were allowed into the store, along with their family, and given a discount.

I wish I had a digital camera because my description cannot do the place justice. It is absolutely huge. By the time I was done shopping my feet were killing me. I got a few Christmas presents, a small present for myself, and got to see lots of stuff. Even if you are never planning on buying anything there, you should stop in just to take a look at the place. All of the staff I met were very friendly, and there's even an electronic shooting gallery for the kids....adults too. Personally I wouldn't recommend trying on opening day though. Just friends and family of the contractors packed about 400 people in the store (rough count) and left me with a 45 minute wait in the checkout line.
