This Week's Program

Pete B introduced Jenni Deckert, who will be opening a new business in Chester along with her two sisters. Longtime residents of Chester, their market research showed that a Bridal Shop was a needed business on the south side of the Greater Richmond area. Located in Cgester Village Green, the Grand Opening will be this Saturday, 1/20. We wish them all the best and will send any potential brides their way.
