The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard about a local business during their weekly meeting Tuesday at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.
Lindsey Bliler opened “Farm House Signs and Company” on the Taylorville square 8 years ago. Bliler told Kiwanis members her business has grown from one to 2 separate buildings on the square, and recently moved her warehouse and showroom to adjacent buildings on the west side of the square.
Bliler told the Kiwanis Club about how she opened the business.
In addition to her showroom being open Fridays and Saturdays, she sells her hand-made signs on her web site as well as doing Facebook Live on Friday mornings and Sunday nights.
Bliler told the Kiwanis Club that after a recent Facebook Live session, customers from Kansas City came to her shop in person. She added she’s shipped her hand-made signs to all 50 states in her 8 years in business.
Also at Tuesday’s Taylorville Kiwanis Club meeting, Marty and Donna Davis (center and right), owners of the area McDonald’s restaurants, were presented a plaque for their many years of supporting Kiwanis fund-raising events. McDonald’s has provided product for the club’s annual Pancake and Sausage Breakfast as well as being purchasers of pies during the Kiwanis Pie Auction on WMKR Genuine Country 94.3 radio. Kiwanis president Adam Jeffrey (left) presented the plaque to the Davis'.
The club reminds the public of this Saturday’s Pancake and Sausage Breakfast at the Taylorville Moose Lodge from 6:30 til eleven in the morning. Tickets are 7-dollars for adults and 4-dollars for children 12 and under. Proceeds benefit local Kiwanis projects for children and youth.
