Let’s gather Friday, September 10, to savor the fruits of our labors!
Food, Music, Door Prizes, Kids Activities.  Bring the whole family!

10 years means a lot to us. A big thank you all who have made our little enterprise possible, and cheers to the next 10 years!
Our community came together in 2011 to turn the closing of a 110-year-old independent store into something new, yet connected with the roots of a locally focused small business.
It’s been hard work by all to keep our food & art cooperative going. Each year, there’s been more to celebrate.
Our journey has not been easy. We’ve had to overcome incredible barriers — and much still needs to be done.
Let’s celebrate and keep the momentum going.

When: 4:30 pm - 7:00 pm, Friday, September 10
Where: At the store, outdoors.  In Stacie’s fenced-in yard and our back parking lot.  
[A big thank you to Stacie Stone, founding member (#2) and steadfast supporter, for the use of her backyard for our annual celebrations!]
