Thank you

By Ellen Bell There are a lot of things we love about being a co-op, but our favorite has to be helping to build a robust vibrant community through events and a healthy environment. After months and months of planning, calling, and writing the big day was finally here and it did not disappoint. During this unpredictable time, we know that it may not always be easy for you to come out and support our stores, local artists, and local vendors. However, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Ever'man Nine Mile Event of the Year, on January 15th and 16th! Without hesitation, you showed up followed our social distancing guidelines to enjoy festivities like live music from Karli Ryan, “The Maximum” Bob Foster, and Dos Boys, busted a move with Niki during Sh1ft Fitness and stuck around to enjoy a nice glass of wine around our firepit outside and it made for an incredible two-day event. We also wanted to take this opportunity to give a huge shout-out to our extremely talented vendors who dedicated one or two whole days to sharing their amazing products with our customers, and who took time to donate amazing giveaway prizes like a Beach Cruiser from Zevia, a $100 gift card from Five Sisters Blues Café, and Karron Troil for gifting us with three separate oil paintings valued at $215. We could not have executed or carried out this event without them and for that, we are forever grateful! We are not sure what activities or events the new year will bring, but knowing we have the support of our customers and local community has us feeling hopeful for the rest of 2021!
