and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Original owners Beth Marie and Randy Cox opened the |
|
|
business's first parlor on the historic Denton Square in November |
|

1998; in the years that followed, that location became a popular |

|
|
WHEREAS, Independent businesses that reflect the unique |
|
|
spirit of their communities are to be commended for the vital role |
