March is Women's history month, so we are taking this time to highlight some of our local business women in our community!

Today we are focusing on Lindsay Demshar, Owner and Principal Baker of Frosted Ridge Confections Frosted Ridge Confections is a egg and nut allergen friendly bakery in Forest, VA. Their business was built on a need within Lindsay's own family—which has multiple food allergies. Now they are baking up allergen friendly goods for their family and our community!

Lindsay is such an amazing entrepreneur and brought something unique to our area that has helped many with allergies be able to still indulge in the sweet treats they love. When you walk in to the bakery you get service with a smile and feel at home the minute you arrive.

As Lindsay says: "Life is full of sweet moments and we are here to bake life a little sweeter"

We are sad to share that Joseph “Quinn” Gordon, a local veteran we wrote about in our December issue, sadly passed away on December 23, 2023. It was an honor to share his story and bring awareness to the very devastating problem of homeless veterans. He did get to read our article and loved it. Thank you for your service Quinn we are forever grateful.

Don't forget to turn back time tonight! As you set your clocks back one hour, let's take a moment for safety, too. 🔥 Test your smoke detectors, replace the batteries, and if they're over 10 years old, it's time for an upgrade. Stay safe and prepared, Bedford County!
