Exploring the Neighborhood - Episode 14

Thor interrogates artist Dale Fehr of Flying Colours Gallery & Retreat of Maccan, Nova Scotia, an antique venue that specializes mostly in 1930’s & 1940’s artifacts, books, and fine china.

We discuss the challenges and opportunities of starting a business in a dying town without money, credit or local support system. Despite these constraints, Dale’s shop exudes a unique taste and flair that is not typical of such a rural location.

Special bonus, an art, quilting and lifestyle discussion with Valerie Chapel of The Amherst Artisan Gallery.
