This morning we had a grant reviewed by the Denton Main Street Association. The Main Street Board recommended us for a $25,000 grant. :) we are very happy and humbled. A special thank you to Julie Glover, who has been a tremendous help to us and helped us guide our project in the right direction. This is a huge first step!
