INSIDE NEW RISON PHARMACY - Visitors begin filing inside the new Rison Pharmacy and Wellness building for its open house last Friday morning. While the business moved into its new facility earlier this summer, Rison Pharmacy owner Lynn Wilson waited until last week to have an open house to officially kick off the new location. Wilson said the new building provides about twice as much space as the old location, and it also includes a new gym and fitness center called Rison Grind at the back of the building.
