It makes the perfect place to hold events that give back to our community, which is a big part of our corporate philosophy,” said Quintana. “I was raised in the military. My dad served in the Army for 27 years. Consequently, vets are near and dear to my heart, so I’m very excited to invite everyone to come enjoy the fun, festivities and yard sale treasures on this special day!”
