SMALL BUSINESS EVENT A SUPERB SUCCESS!
Strive for Strength (S4S) partnered with The Creative Space to host a Small Business Saturday Food and Craft Fair on May 29. With perfect weather and the local band East Wind playing in the parking lot, 1400 guests lined up to buy food and an array of products such as home décor, apparel, crafts, and many creative merchandise. A portion of the proceeds from this event benefited S4S. The event was so popular, discussions are in the works to host another event! Thank you to Jennifer & Remy Tokunaga owners of The Creative Space who came up with the idea to host the joint venture.
