A holiday Open House was hosted at a new business in Escalon this past Saturday, Dec. 5, as the Happy Wish Company and Feather & North, sharing a building on Jackson Avenue next to the former Rite Aid building, opened their doors to welcome in the community. Happy Wish is a party supply company run by Alicia Johnson and Betsey Hodges, Feather & North is a photography business run by Alyssa Hagan and Erin Northcutt. Here, local youngsters Alexis White, 12; David White, 8 and Cali Yangose, 3, take advantage of some props at the ‘selfie station’ for a little bit of holiday fun.
