It has been one year since the Morgan County Tourism Alliance purchased the Tanner Store so it is time for an update. First and foremost, we want to thank everyone who has supported us this past year whether it is through the Tanner TakeOuts that are on the first Thursday of each month, or by stopping by with encouragement and/or volunteer hours for a special need. The community has been wonderful with their support which is what we need to continue making this store something of which to be proud. Read more on our News Blog. |
