The crew at Nelson Locker, LLC, took a break from cutting meat last Saturday to cut a red ribbon during a special open house. The business held the event to showcase updates to its interior, offer samples and show off its many retail offerings. Josh and Jennifer Paskert bought the business from the Nelson family in April of 2022. The Hartley Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting at the locker during the open house.
