In every mall, shopping centre or community, there is generally a business designated as the  "anchor tenant", which serves as the entity's main attraction or "anchor". You will note that every mall has a Sobeys, Sears, Superstore or Zellers to attract customers. From there, buyers fan out to other stores to complete their shopping experience. 

For Bear River, consultant Roger Brooks states that the anchor tenant is the renowned gallery, Flight of Fancy. Brooks went so far as to say that it is one of the finest commercial galleries he has ever visited, and coming from someone who makes their living traveling the world assessing tourism destinations, that's saying a lot.   

Recently I checked out the gallery's new arrivals, and was awe-struck, as always. On display were works by a Bear River area artist specializing in elegant carved wooden shoes less than 2 inches high, each crafted from one perfect piece of yew. Meticulously laquered and laced, an individually framed set of nine pieces forms an incredibly sophisticated arrangement.
