On Dec. 9, 1960 the Key opened its doors for the first time in the parish hall of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Since then it has been at five buildings in Cazenovia, with its current location at 66 Albany St.

“We have had a wonderful 50 years due to the support of our friends, consignors and shoppers. We would like to thank you for your patronage throughout the years,” said Chris Wnorowski of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and The Key.

Those interested can redeem a coupon from the store or the Hi Neighbor for a raffle ticket to win a $50 gift certificate to the Key. A drawing will be held at 3 p.m. Dec. 18. Participants do not to be present for the drawing.

Shoppers are invited to bring “man’s best friend” for a doggie treat Dec. 8.

“They have been loyal visitors through out the years and they deserve a pat on the head,” Wnorowski said.

Those who want to be part of a group shot with The Key’s mascot and his “many furry buddies,” gather at 11 a.m.

Cookies and cider will be served at The Key Dec. 9 through 11.
