To meet locals in the community and share his love for pool, Farmington Billiards owner Dan Rider moved a few billiard tables outdoors for the public to play during Farmington’s Dew Days summer festival.

Residents will take over small business on Sept. 7

: After five years of serving residents, Farmington’s Ugly Mug owners Jeff and Melinda Blansit have sold their small business. They plan to hand over the keys of the trendy, loft-feel coffee shop to a Farmington couple next week. “I have mixed emotions because we have spent a lot of time here, and the community is great and we have just loved it … and all the musicians that come in to play,” Melinda said. – Photo by Rick Orndorf

For five years, The Ugly Mug owners have poured their hearts and souls into each cup of coffee served up to loyal customers.

“Our moms are both getting older and they need a little more help now,” Melinda said.

A strong, loyal clientele keep returning for early morning coffee and lunch at the mom and pop restaurant, open seven days a week in the Farmington Marketplace shopping center just off Pilot Knob Road. (more…)
