Forrests is celebrating 🥳 2 Birthdays this weekend! Our fabulous new manager Jacob Duff is celebrating the 1/4 century mark and John Goebel is celebrating a few more years around the sun 🌞 I forgot to take pictures of them - so added one of my cat Dexter cozying up in my Contra case Thursday evening 😁
Thank you John and Jacob for all you do! 🎁🎶❤️

Thank you Rieger for sending Jose Javier Romero to Forrests to demonstrate the latest and greatest available from your company in Germany! Sold some great tools and learned about their profiler and tip profilers and their various templates.
We have kept one of the tip profilers with 2 popular templates for those interested in checking it out ❤️❤️❤️

We are so proud to finally announce the launch of our new Forrests Music website 😍🎶

Those who have supported us over the years know what monumental feat this has been. We have been using the same FoxPro system since the mid-90’s, but Forrests Music is now joining the 21st century!

A special shout out to the Bsns.cc team for leading the development of our new site! We couldn’t have done it without your technical backing.

Please take a moment to visit the new site! And don’t forget to join our email list in order to learn about all of the latest product launches and events.

Finally, a giant thank you to our loyal customers for 80+ years of patronage.
Cheers to 80 more!🥂🥳💗🎉🙌
