An overflow crowd filled the Community Room at the Bay County Library to enjoy a special evening celebrating the businesses that built our town's foundation. This roundtable storying telling event featured local icons sharing the origin stories of their family businesses. Humorous and heartfelt stories about running family businesses held the audience's attention and many requested an encore event. Thanks to all who participated.
