Hey La Grande Alive! This week’s Newsish Roundup is all about food!
We love food too, Will
Me too, little shoulder me’s. Me too.
Marketplace Family Foods is holding a customer appreciation day to, well, appreciate their customers. Marketplace Family Foods is a small-town local grocery store on the end of Adams Avenue. They have groceries, local cut and smoked meats, plus a cute little bistro and a little-known rooftop patio on which you can sit and sip on a local brew and look out at Mt. Emily in her winter coat.
Eh, maybe you should wait to eat outside until summer. And this week I got a chance to sit down with Dion, the grocery manager and brains behind the customer appreciation day, and chat with him about what, exactly, the Marketplace has to offer their customers.
Now, Marketplace is going to be making some changes here in the new future. Instead of being your general run-of-the-mill grocery store, they’re going to start providing specialty items. Items that other stores in the area might not have. Right now they have specialty meats and cheeses. They also have local crafted beer. And who knows what else in the future? The bottom line, Dion said, is that what you, the customer want, they’ll get.
Now the customer appreciation day is two weeks from now on Wednesday the 31st of January. They’re going to have tours of the store plus deals on new items from new brands including Wild Harvest and Everyday Essentials. They’re also bringing back the famous Bistro Burger! And for all of you non-vegetarians out there, that’s a big deal! So if you’re out and about shopping two Wednesdays from now, be sure to head on into Marketplace Family Foods on the End of Adams Avenue and get appreciated.
And speaking of being appreciated, be sure to share along this video and get entered into our January drawing for Marketplace Family Foods $20 gift card.

What’s the one reason to get up in the morning at 6am? Breakfast.
Well, good news, soon-to-be-egregiously fat Will. On February 7th you can have both. The annual Friends of Scouting Breakfast is happening next month at 6:30 am at the Presbyterian Friendship Center and the breakfast is going to be fantastic. Think eggs Benedict and fresh-cut fruit and other sides provided by our own local taste-expert Merlyn’s Catering.
But there’s more about this breakfast than just the food. The Friends of Scouting Breakfast is an annual honoring of the scouts and their mission which is, according to Eric Valentine, to help young men to develop into virtuous and competent leaders and citizens that make this nation great. And there’s not another organization like it, he said. Every year at the breakfast the scouts honor their Eagle Scouts plus an adult scout who has been a great help over the year. And all the proceeds of this event go to the Blue Mountain Council without which the scouts couldn’t function in eastern Oregon. Now, like I said, the breakfast is at 6:30 am but Eric Valentine said that the breakfast will be “invigorating.” But I wonder, what happens when already energy-filled Will eats an invigorating breakfast?
