All invited Monday 2:45!


On Monday (8/4) at 2:45pm Congressman Phil Roe and State Director of USDA Rural Development Bobby Goode will be visiting Boone Street Market to officially present a $21,250 grant award. The grant will be used to purchase a walk-in cooler and other equipment for the store.

Please join us! A strong showing of market supporters would be a wonderful way to express our appreciation, and you will also see how progress on the building is coming!

If you think you can attend, can you let me know at the market in the morning, or by phone/email? RSVP not required, but will help my planning—

Thanks so much!
