The Indianola Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony today at Ardour Salon.

Owner and operator Sarah Downard tells KNIA News she is swapping roles with longtime friend Jana McGraw, who operated the salon for 17 years.

“Jana and I have known each other since I was a little girl, and God’s timing has been absolutely perfect for this transition. Jana get’s to spend a little more time with her children and for me this is perfect timing for life transitions. What a special, special moment to be able to take what Jana has been able to build with the team and atmosphere here and build off of that, and use that as our launching pad

The ribbon cutting marks the first of 2019 for the chamber, who hosted over 30 in 2018 and will look to beat that mark this year.
