Good Morning. It’s Saturday, July 2, 2022
Best of luck to Mark McGuire on his business venture. I’ve known Mark for three or four years now through his involvement with Philomath Community Services and Bountiful Backyard, the nonprofit that helped establish the local farmers’ market. Nice fella, smart guy. Have a great Fourth of July weekend everybody.
Thanks for reading!
