Post by: MikeF9 on April 01, 2010, 10:57:34 AM

This Date in History-April 1, 1977. Minor's Country Store opens for business. In the early 1960's, it was Decker's Store. Then from the late 60's to the mid-70's it was Fisher's Store. Then it was the Great Falls Country Store. Today Jeff Minor and crew celebrate 33 years of serving the Fairfax community.

Actually, they usually have on a Saturday in June. Better weather, maybe?

Looks like the road had just been paved then... Probably the last time it was done?
