Ace Hardware opened in Chinle. The Grand Opening in April, 2012, was a great success.
It was very exciting - everyone was there!
Former Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley spoke most eloquently, in Dine Bizaad of course, about economic development on the Navajo Reservation, and the positive impact of business such as Ace Hardware blazing the trail.
President Shirley graciously allowed us to have our photo taken with him. We were pleased. President Shirley continues being proactive in community service since his term expired.
Afterwards, we celebrated with luncheon at the swap meet. Others had the same idea; Goody's is a popular local lunch spot on Fridays.
Enchiladas and tamales topped off our morning just right.
It is wonderfully convenient to have our very own hardware store in Chinle!
