Sparta Spotlight Feat. Jill Cockerham! 

Jill talks about Her journey in life, and talks about the future of Alleghany Farmers Market along with other interesting topics. Ben and Wrenn have some songs and quotes to share as well to bring some joy into your life. 

We are continuing our summer of highlighting the good things that are taking place in our hometown of Sparta, NC. If you have been in the new Sparta Candle Co. Store on Main Street then you know why we wanted to talk to Jennifer about the story of that business and how she cast a vision for her new storefront. It is so exciting to see people bring creativity and passion to the small town Main Street life that we all love in Sparta. Is there something good going on in the community that you think we should check out next? Let us know! 

This summer the Tuesday Afternoon Podcast is shining a light on the positive things that are taking place in our Alleghany County community. We kick things off this week in an interview with Ginger Collins and Jonah Greene of the Alleghany Writers and the newly launched Alleghany Teen Writers group. Stay tuned for more exciting interviews from all over the County every week this summer!
