area of the store dedicated to an ongoing silent auction. All proceeds benefit Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a Christian relief organization. “We opened on April 7, 1997, in a stone building across (Route 23) from the Windmill,” explained store manager Jen Leighton, noting that the original building is now a private residence. “We moved to this location - the original Conestoga Mennonite Church - in August of 2003.” The store was renovated in 2010 to include more sales space. “The back of the store is where we did processing, and we wanted to make that all sales floor,” Leighton said. “Now, the whole downstairs - the whole length of the building - is for sorting and processing donations.” During the pandemic when the store was closed, the sales floor was reconfigured, and the checkout stand was relocated. “During the COVID shutdown, (we) moved things around so that when we reopened, we had more clear aisles and we could keep the 6-feet distance and our cashiers would be behind glass,” Leighton said.
The 10th annual Ryerss Run for the Horses, which will include a 10K run, a 5K run and a 1-mile walk, will be held on Saturday, April 9, at Ryerss Farm, 1710 Ridge Road, Pottstown. Check-in will begin at 11:30 a.m., and the race and walk will start at 1 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the retired and rescued horses that reside at the farm.
