Let’s get to it!
LOCAL BUSINESS
Dr. Matthew Stone, owner of Glocester Family Chiropractic, passed away unexpectedly. Having grown up in Burrillville, he moved home after college to open his practice in Chepachet. If you asked anyone local for a chiro recommendation, you more than likely were told to go to Dr. Stone. We are praying for his wife and son during this difficult time.
We checked out Boarders Farm yesterday for SECOND SUNDAY. If you made it, let us know which free ice cream you picked!! All happening again August 10th. Free Family fun!
