Helping in the ceremony was Stephanie Williams, facilitator for North Central Missouri Business Facilitation, and Cassie Deskins, right, president of the Bethany Area Chamber of Commerce. The store has been a place for area residents to gather to visit and play cards during the week. The business facilitator agency provided assistance to the store during the past year. Charlene Frame said, ‘”One of the reasons I opened the store was a place for my grandkids to help and learn and to enjoy the people in the community.”
