And as far as the grant funds go, they're going to materials such as concrete, metal, new signage. The grant would have been need to be a whole lot more if it went to baskets. Stub Stewart got a grant for just baskets, and I think it was around $10,000 alone. |
Bob,
thanks again for all your hard work. I appreciate your response.
PS. I always put extra money in the bucket so someday maybe you will have more money than time
