I attended a ribbon-cutting event on Friday, October 3, 2025, at 10 am. I picked up the scissors and ribbon prior to arriving. Many familiar faces showed up, including the town mayor, two town councilmen, the town manager, and one of the county’s board of supervisors. The place was fairly packed as it was on Main Street and within walking distance of many local businesses. Although I was told to direct, the local reporter, who had been through it many times before, handled it well, and I just enjoyed the fun.

Pick of the Litter had moved from 450 South Commerce Avenue to 113 East Main Street, Front Royal, VA, next to the movie theater. The place felt smaller, and no dogs are permitted here. However, they are certain to get more foot traffic.
