GRAND OPENING THIS Saturday
📍 Osage City
📍10am - 3pm

As we get ready to officially open the doors to Osage City Nutrition, there’s something we (Brian and Barb) want you to know: this is about so much more than shakes, teas, and nutrition.

It’s about people. It’s about community. It’s about YOU.

We want to know your name. We want to hear your story. We want to celebrate your wins, encourage your goals, and create a place where you can walk through the door and feel genuinely welcomed.

Whether you’re already focused on your health, just getting started, or simply curious about what we’re bringing to Osage City, we want to meet you. No pressure. No expectations. Just come say hi.

And what better way to get acquainted than a party?

Join us THIS SATURDAY for our Grand Opening at 122 N 6th St! We’ll have a cookout, samples, giveaways, a bounce house for the kids, and plenty of good company.

We can’t wait to become part of this community and, even more importantly, we can’t wait to meet the people who make Osage City home.

📍 Osage City Nutrition | 122 N 6th St

See you Saturday!

For 30 years, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has been changing lives—one book, one child, one dream at a time. What started as a small-town promise in Tennessee has grown into a worldwide gift of literacy, inspiring a love of reading in over 270 million children in 5 countries.

Dolly’s vision was simple but powerful: every child deserves the joy of books, no matter where they come from. Today, because of her heart and generosity, and with the help of local program partners across the globe, millions of children have turned their first pages, discovered new worlds, and built brighter futures—one book at a time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Dolly for showing us how to
❤️ Dream More,
❤️ Learn More,
❤️ Care More
❤️ Be More. Here’s to 30 years—and many more—of inspiring a lifelong love of reading! 📚💜
