Story Highlight: Forge of Freedom (pg. 25) “Once he realized helping others was important to his own success as an addict, Craig started a construction company to offer employment and recovery opportunities to men in our community.

Story Highlight: The Gold Coin Standard (pg. 58) "A favorite section for many is the western wear. "We went to Mexico and designed our own clothing brand, Centenario Western Wear," said Elizabeth. She showed me handmade leather vests and jackets of exceptional quality. The ornate Mexican saddles in the aisles were worth coming to the store just to see. Western-style boots made of everything from gator to snake skins lined the walls. In addition, the store also offers children's wear, communion, and baptismal apparel, hats, sombreros, shirts, and work boots.” Read more of this inspirational story at: https://toombscountymagazine.com #toombscountymagazine Story written by: Teri Williams Photos by: Ruth English
