Redding Teen Hopes To Bring Community Together With The Hive Redding Teen Hopes To Bring Community Together With The Hive
Redding Teen Hopes To Bring Community Together With The Hive REDDING, Conn. -- A bit of Hawaii is coming to Redding on Sunday, May 14 thanks to the efforts of a local teen.

She said the vibe was so amazing -- filled with music, dancing, food trucks, local vendors and a string of picnic tables where you could sit down and have a conversation with the person next to you -- that she decided that same kind of feeling needed to be replicated back home. &quo…

Yes She Can: White Plains Shop Is All About Girl Empowerment WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- It's not every store where someone walks in not to buy, but because they support the mission of the shop.
