The key to sustaining regional economies is to have viable small businesses. But just because it's viable doesn't mean the owner of the business will want to be there forever. At some point, they will want to retire, travel or just do something different. Carolyn Fryer went back to Fish Creek with a plan to retire to her new farm. But before she got farming she saw a key local business for sale. It was a bit tired but Carolyn knew how vital it was for it to be successful. She had plenty of previous business experience so she parked her retirement and bought it, then improved it and then eventually sold it. The local community is better off as a result. Listen in to hear Carolyn talk about her personal experience along with the tips she has for other regional owners and communities.
