| Co-op Grand Opening
Or, why is the parking lot so crowded?
By Kenna S. Eaton, General Manager, from the December
2005 Newsletter
The Grand Opening was a glorious affair enjoyed by all and we
had a great turnout both from community members and local producers.
Thank you to all who attended!
Tables overflowed with samples of Cowgirl Chocolates, fresh produce,
yummy drinks, fresh water from Idaho Ice and treats galore. We
had ranchers cooking beef produced on their sustainably run ranches
(located here in Idaho), cheeses made in the Hoodoo Valley and
wine from our own Camas Winery. Not to be outdone our own kitchen
baked a wonderful carrot cake and we gave away lots of door prizes
(thanks to Connie Talbot for helping out as our wandering prize
giver). Thanks also to Potato-Head for being the first band to
play for us in our new eating area, to the Co-op staff for the
art that graces our walls and to Sweet Peas & Sage for the
beautiful flower arrangements.
Again thanks to our wonderful community for its
generous support and if you haven’t yet painted a tile for
our second mural, call “In-Haus Pottery” or find Lizette
Fife at the Winter Market, December 3rd at the 1912 Building. There’s
still time to make your mark on our new home!
