The State of Small Business in Front Royal/Warren County

1 April 2020

We were in the studio for The Valley Business Today with Niki Cales, President of the Front Royal/Warren County Chamber of Commerce to talk about the state of small businesses in Front Royal/Warren County.

Niki told us about a few conversations she’s had with several businesses across the county. We talked about the importance of supporting local business during the health crisis and Niki told me about the success of the Front Royal To Go group the chamber created on Facebook.

She gave me an overview of some of the SBA loans that are about to become available to small businesses, how they might be distributed and where you can find resources to assist in the application process.

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Friday September 18, 2020. How about a few pachyderm fun facts today, in particular the elephant. A pachyderm describes any large mammal with thick skin, like the elephant, rhinoceroses or hippopotamus. You may have learned that there are two species of elephant; the Asian and the African. Scientists recently broke the African elephant into two separate species., so now we have three. Elephants are the largest mammals on earth. They have a unique trunk that they use to eat, communicate, touch, smell and pick up objects. An elephant can't jump, even at the site of a mouse, which by the way, an elephant isn't necessarily afraid of mice. It's more the element of surprise that startles them. Both male and female elephants grow tusks. Elephants are covered with coarse hair. An elephant is constantly eating and they can smell water from up to three miles away. The brain of an elephant weighs in at about ten and a half pounds. And, yes, an elephant has an incredible memory. Listen to the podcast here; theriver953.com/podcast/fun-fact-september-18-2020/ ...

It's Furever Friday!

This is Ciri, a 5-month-old hound mix. Ciri is a typical rambunctious puppy and is a bit mouthy in play. She is learning appropriate behavior, basic commands and how to be gentle, but will need an owner who continues her training. She was just
spayed this week, is up to date on her vaccinations and ready for an adventure!

If you’re interested in giving Ciri a forever home, fill out an adoption application at humanesocietywarrencounty.com/. Once the application is processed, a staff member will reach out to set up an appointment for a meet and greet.

Furever Friday is sponsored by Shear Elegance Pet Boutique. ... See MoreSee Less
