Our participating dealers earn a free HoopSisters CD for each of their customers who participate and list them as their dealer. This year we gave away over $70,000 worth of freebies to our dealers! We can't wait for the 2012 Mystery Quilt. It's a wonderful program for our dealers and so much fun for consumers."
