Back Mtn. Video opens ‘By CHARLOT M. DENMON «Staff Correspondent * The sky cleared and the sun came eut just in time for the ribbon- .¢utting marking the Grand Opening “of the Back Mtn. Video, Fernbrook Plaza, Dallas, Saturday, June 8, at 10 a.m. Owners Dolores Tamanini, Maria Bridy and Janet Metzger breathed a sigh of relief as the sun came out from behind the clouds to top off the day. The video center is the first busi- ness venture for the three women, although Dolores’ father is in busi- ness and she has had some experi- ence doing his book work. Maria is a licensed practical nurse at Good Samaritan Hospital, Pottsville; and Janet is a registered nurse at Nes- bitt Hospital, Kingston. The Grand Opening on Saturday came only two weeks after the women opened the shop on May 25 and there was something for every- one who came in during the day. A large fishbowl contained slips of paper, some with items printed on them. Those persons who picked a slip with an item on it received that item as a prize. There were refresh- ments for everyone and lollipops for the children. Pens also were distrib- uted to those who came to Satur- day’s opening as well as the book fitled ‘Rating the Movies for Home Ribbon- eiting Dailas Post/Ed Campbell Shown here are those people who participated in ribbon-cutting ceremonies at the grand opening of Back Mtn.
