The Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce was pleased to assist Things 2 Remember with an official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony during its Grand Opening on Friday, December 9^th. Located inside the Bedford Mini-Mall at 208 North Bridge Street, business owners Donna and Gene Croce (pictured with scissors at center of photo) were pleased to welcome everyone to their new location which offers custom apparel for businesses, churches, family reunions or school functions.
