by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow —  The Wellington Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for Huckleberry’s at 1o7 S. Washington Thursday morning. The new downtown store features handmade Cowboy gear and western collectables.
“Everything here is geared toward the Cowboy and is homemade,” Brian Strange, owner of Huckleberry’s, told the crowd of about 50 this morning. “We make handmade spurs and silver, floral arrangements, oil paintings and photography.
He and his wife, Bethany, moved here with their four younger children last spring, and decided to find a brick and mortar building to go with his online silversmithing business, Huckleberry’s, located at 107 S. Washington. The couple also has three adult children who live on their own. Bethany is currently employed by U.S.D. 259.
“Huckleberry was a term used in the late 1800’s for the right man to do the job,†Strange said.
