Several posts have examined the present condition of our little town and some have opined about it's future (or lack thereof). Yesterdays LOOKOUT had two important items reported.
First--We have signed a contract of sale of the Cedar Vale Community Hospital. A group headed by John Hayes from Fredonia plans to have a ARRC (adult restorative retreat center) in the facility. He has owned such a facility in Fredonia for 9 years named Candlerock. It will now be Candlerock Fredonia and Candlerock Cedar Vale. He has announced that he also will try to buy The vacant Nursing Home, renovate it, and make it a part of the Cedar Vale complex.
Second--2PM today was the official opening of Cedar Creek Mercantile, our new little "Mom and Pop" grocery store.
Time will reveal if these positive events can halt the decline here. We can hope!

I saw the article in the Lookout about the new "Mercantile" store. The name is meant to recall L. C. Adams I would think. Anyway, great news for the town.
I'm excited about the two new businesses. I hope it will mean some jobs for CV residents. Good luck to both endeavors!
Good news, Don!
Great news. I googled Hayes and Candlerock in Fredonia. Sounds like a solid business. Perhaps the one in CV will have residents from other towns. Had you thought about it? Hays Hospital and a Hayes is buying it..?? Neat, huh?
Great news Don. Hope they will be a postive infulence on the future of CV.
Thanks, Don, for being the "good messenger" of good news! May they both prosper!
Where is the Cedar Creek Mercantile located?
Don, it is in the second bldg. uphill from the old Post Office. I believe it was Woodruff Cleaners way back when.
Didn't the Calls have a grocery store in Cedar Vale? Where was it located?
