The Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for Stone Fort Music located at 109 E. Main St. off of the Historic Manchester Square. Owners Joey Gipson and Michael Klug thanked the crowd for coming and explained the business was something they always wanted to do. A surprise to the crowd, Chamber President and CEO Katy Riddle revealed that she plays a little guitar before brandishing the miniscule instrument and briefly accompanying Gipson and Klug.
