She's smiling from ear-to-ear, and says, “I love to come to my shop, and work on my machines. It's comforting.” A life-long pursuit of sewing has brought Julie to Bishop's Main Street, and a side-business as a Princess House (a direct-buy, housewares, and home décor company) representative too. She's busy placing patterns on fall-colored fabrics, and searching for good deals on more holiday notions and prints. And, she adds, her husband encouraged her to open the shop, and try for her own successes in the Dreamy Dresses business.

Her Bishop business, TJ's Firing Line, started 2 years ago, and "word of mouth" is adding customers every week. Felkel likes her job, likes working on Subarus, meeting new customers, and seeing the re‐ paired autos roll out of the shop with satisfied car owners. She's been "learning the ropes" of the automotive repair and smogging business, and says the laws and regulations (especially about smog certificates) are ever‐changing.

She's had as many as three full-time jobs / businesses, and that's not including her super-busy schedule with the kids (she's a hockey mom), and family. “My whole family's in business,” she notes, so she comes by her super-powers through experience, and lots of it. As for the work-life balance, she “sets boundaries. Keeping time set aside for family, and trying to make the most of my time while I'm working.” The happy customers and appreciative community members remind her everyday why she's in business, with her husband. She is also a volunteer firefighter (for past three years) with the Chalfant Valley Fire Department, and she recently helped out residents during the flooding in Chalfant. The Merc and bar have a faithful following of neighbors and travelers, who stop for pre-made breakfast burritos, or make a regular lunch-time and dinner stop for the daily specials, pie, bread pudding, hot coffee, beer on tap, and good company. Kile notes the Merc will expand in the spring, with an outside patio area, live music, and local band members who will offer guitar sessions / classes.

Chris Iversen started working at what was then Wheeler and Wilson Boot the fall of 1988, having moved to the area to be closer to climbing and hiking. Several years later the store’s name changed to Eastside Sports. By the mid 1990s Chris was helping to run the store as general manager and buyer; twenty-seven years Chris Iversen (left), Natasha Sevilla, and Sue Martin. after turning in that 1988 job application she, with co-owner and husband Todd Vogel, is now the owner of the store, having bought the business from James and Kay Wilson the fall of 2012. Chris has a staff of twelve and nearly thirty years experience with the business. She says “one aspect of running a store that might surprise people is that at any given time I’m writing orders for products that won’t show up for at least a year or more; choosing what our customers might want that far in advance, out of the myriad high quality offerings that are on the market, is a constant challenge.” Chris travels at least four times a year to attend buying shows. She says an additional challenge is the gender bias in the outdoor industry. “It’s slowly changing”, she says, “but the industry has long been male dominated, both at the manufacturing side of things and who owns the stores”. When not running the shop Chris enjoys gardening, hiking, climbing, bird watching and catering to her dog’s every whim. alism. I believe I have succeeded.
