Thankfully, and with a lot of help, our cooperative seems to have weathered COVID19. It was pretty touch and go there for a moment, for several long moments. It is so good to have folks back in the store, locals and visitors. It’s always interesting to chat with people who are passing through the area, or students/residents moving in or moving on. This organization is really a bit of a marvel; that a group of artists and craftspeople work together in ways that benefit each other and it’s lasted 25 (?) years, too, through economic downturns, right wing kook riots, weather extremes, pandemic - what next? We’re resilient!
