WHAT MATTERS WARREN – In this 2 minute video, Bonnie Hart of The Grace Place shares why Front Royal’s historic Main Street is the place to be on upcoming Saturdays. This Saturday, 11/24, is Small Business Saturday with many area businesses participating in the annual movement sponsored by American Express. The following Saturday, 12/1, marks the official ringing in of the FR/WC Christmas spirit starting at noon as the community celebrates “A Whoville Christmas.” Also on that day, from 11:00am to 1:00pm, The Grace Place (201 E Main St) will host Michael Foley, author of “Drinking With The Saints.” Mike will be on site to discuss his new book, “Drinking With Saint Nick”  and will also be signing his books that are beautifully written and would make fantastic Christmas gifts.

Here is the EVENT LINK for Grace Place Book Discussion/Signing.
