MOUNT FOREST – The Mount Forest Thrift Store celebrated its 15th anniversary on July 11 with cupcakes and friends. “We’ve raised over $2.6 million in the 15 years we’ve been open,” day manager Brenda Harris said. The volunteer-based store has been supporting both the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation and Cancer Patient Services since opening.
