Representatives with the Greater Grenada Partnership, the Grenada County Board of Supervisors and various local businesses were on hand Wednesday afternoon for the official Groundbreaking Ceremony for Back Forty Outdoors.
Construction on what owners Mike Campbell and Jay Culpepper nicknamed Grenada's "mini Bass Pro Shop" will begin soon with dirt work nearly completed and concrete scheduled to be poured next week. It is located at 2055 Sunset Dr., next to Tractor Supply just off Interstate 55.
The outdoors duo took time out of their busy schedules on Thursday, June 9, to answer a few questions about Back Forty Outdoors in an interview with Adam Prestridge, publisher of The Grenada Star.
