"We did our share. We need some new ideas. It's time for us to move on. "The main object here is to keep it open for the farmers," he said. "You do it to keep things going, keep the town going, keep the farmers going." On Nov.

About 50 people attended a town meeting on Nov. 21 at Meservey-Thornton Elementary and Middle School. Ideas to save the store included selling local products and crafts and having a seasonal farmer's market.

A total of 210 shares were "raised" at $100 apiece. Memberships also could be offered, Thornton resident Julie Carlson said. In return for buying a membership, customers would get discounts on goods and services from the store.
