[Vision2020] More Stuff

[Craine Kit]

NWRS is Bill Park's Northwest River Supplies (Sports?) company. They  
bought Tidyman's with the intention of eventually moving their  
operations to that site from their current locations. This is a  
company that has quietly grown into  a good business for our town.
