on sunday, we swung by the open house for the new co-op that will be opening soon in town. it is still under construction:

but they wanted to let people see the progress. especially since it has been in the works, and faced many setbacks, for 10 years:

luckily we’ve only had to wait one year since first hearing about it. and now it is finally going to happen. at the open house there was a final push to get people to join the co-op:

and we did!

it was funny because it felt like it was the place to see and be seen this weekend. there was a huge crowd. tom and i probably know less than 15 people in this town, and most were there. every one of the locals was meeting and greeting.

Sounds great. What kind of a co op is it? For groceries or all kinds of purchases? How long before it will be finished?
