The morning clouds parted to let the sunshine in as a crowd gathered around the Montgomery Law Firm on Wednesday morning in downtown Hope. Blake Montgomery said this was the fourth time the firm has hosted, beginning back in 2015 when they were in the BankCorp building. Since then, Montgomery said, the pandemic slowed the community gatherings down a bit, but it's good to see people getting together again.

Arnetta Bradford, owner of HeBrews 11:1, was on hand to cater the event. She said that many people may not realize that HeBrews caters, and that they are available for breakfasts, lunches, or any type of get together.
