wonderful selection of cold beer at The PEARL. The

PEARL is in a 122-year-old building just one block off

the town square, the building has housed bars continu-

ously for the past 77 years. The PEARL is a classic

The PEARL with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. The

which has given our community a wonderful place to

enjoy and make memories with our friends and family.

Congratulations to Wilson-Riggin Lumber & Building

Headquarters for winning the Member Only Raffle Draw-

ing at the past chamber monthly luncheon in November.

Wilson-Riggin is a family owned and operated lumber yard

Blake Lumber Co., founded in 1970. In 1979 Stephanie Rig-

gin’s father, Forrest Wilson, along with George Cardwell,

purchased the lumber company and it became Cardwell Wil-

son Lumber. In 1985, Stephanie and her husband Mark Riggin

purchased the company and they work there Monday-

and improve their homes, yards and businesses. The chamber
