Hastings Family Service Shares a Big Win:

Americana wannabes, Barred Rocks - come and get these hens while they last. It's the original chicken and waffles, without the waffles. LOL!

Air conditioning, pottery, gifts, and late shopping hours. What's not to love? Check out the downtown scene and tell 'em HastingsNow sent you.
