Jenny’s General to host open house for Small Business Saturday Nov. 28
Jenny’s General had their freezer stop working and haven’t found a repairman to come out, nor a replacement option for it. So, the planned frozen organic products are on hold, but probably a good thing since customers have not been coming in the door even with the new product selection and marketing.
The store will be holding a small open house on Small Business Saturday, which is the day after Black Friday, so if you want to come see the new offerings and taste a few samples, please stop in on November 28 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
I have noticed it is not just Jenny’s General that is not getting any participation, neither have the Neighborhood Watch meetings and Equality Fire Department First Saturday fundraising events. I wonder if it has to do with sports – maybe, maybe not – but I hope folks realize that it will cost everyone if we lose our fire department from a real loss of assistance if there is an emergency, and real money in increased homeowner rates.
And then there is the cost of losing community fellowship. It might not be as tangible a loss as assistance or insurance rates, but nonetheless it is a loss to each one of us.
Equality Methodist Church is hosting a concert by Deep South Revival on November 22 at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome, so please make plans to come out and spend some time with Equality Methodist Church and enjoy some great gospel music.
Equality Neighborhood Watch meeting for November and December will be combined into one meeting held on Thursday, December 3, at 6 p.m. Dinner is provided, and donations are accepted. You are welcome to share a dish or dessert if you like.
This is a holiday celebration, including the Dirty Santa Game. If you want to participate bring a $10 wrapped item.
Community activities that are available in Equality and Nixburg areas:
- Drive Through Prayer at Equality Methodist Church every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the church. If you have a prayer need you can drive up to the church, stay in your car, and someone will come out and pray with and for you.
- The Equality quilting group meets every Monday evening from 6 to 8, temporarily moved to Jean Moe Prince’s quilting shed until Jenny’s General Store renovations are complete. We do more than quilt; some embroider, crochet and other needle arts. And yes, we still meet every week!
