All in good fun

 

Yesterday folks got to have a little fun and toss a pie in the face of the Vernon County Sheriff to help raise money for an important cause. "It was my pleasure to allow citizens to throw pies in my face. It was a great time and for a good cause. My donations will be given to the children's center. Thank You Farmers Market." - Sheriff Buehler

New owners for Blue Truck Cafe

 

Hi! We are Madison and Caleb Stump.

We are so excited to announce that we are the new owners of Blue Truck Cafe.

Opening a coffee business has been a topic of conversation between us for a while. We could never quite decide whether we wanted a storefront, or something mobile. But life is busy, we started a family, and the timing was never quite right. When Marissa and Hunter announced that they were selling, Caleb jokingly asked me if I wanted to buy it. Little did he know, his joke was going to spark a fire inside my head that just wouldn’t burn out. I wanted to keep this business that I love, in the amazing community that my husband and I were raised in.

I cannot wait to start serving you, and meet everyone, but there is some important stuff behind the scenes that we need to take care of before that can happen. I will be training with Marissa and Hunter to bring you the coffee that you know and love. It just wouldn’t be Blue Truck without all of your favorite drinks! We have some exciting new things coming as well that we think you will love!

We can’t wait to see you in July!

-Madison Stump
