Three Trails Trading Post History

The Trading Post was started by Ron & Vicki Stegner in 1978. They wished to provide quality beads and items needed for regalia for the Mic-O-Say and Order of the Arrow programs in Boy Scouting. They built a great business! Kara Paris & her mother, Joni Glenn have owned the shop and serviced the community since 2001, continuing to provide quality beads, supplies, and service.

Meet the girls that take care of the shop! Joni Glenn, Miss Annie, the guard and attack dog is no longer with us, and Kara Paris. Mascouten and Saskatchewan, sister cats, are our resident mousers! We have a new boy in our lives, Baxter; we were hoping he would soon be the attack dog. After finding out that is not going to be, we had to get another sassy gal, Duchess; she is going to be the attack dog. All of these wonderful pets are taken care of by Dr. Davinne Glenn of the Veterinary Center of Liberty, visit their web site! www.vetcenterofliberty.com
