• New Businesses! – Congratulations to Given Grace, LLC, 205 West Main, Beloit, on their  ribbon cutting at their new remodeled space. Nichell Lowry and her husband Dusty have created a beautiful space.  They offer fresh flowers, local vendor talent and home décor. Nichell started working in the floral industry when she was 15, graduated from Kansas State University with a BS in Horticulture and has apprenticed under many wonderful florists along the way. She has had this dream in her heart for over ½ of her life and so thankful for the opportunity to finally fulfill it. She said, “The support and prayers that I have already received from Dusty (her husband), friends and family are indescribable. My cup over flows with all the blessings he has placed on this journey.” Stop by Given Grace, LLC and congratulate Nichell on her wonderful adventure.
