Welcome back Half Pint

Half Pint is back – with a new look – at the Co-op! Artist Kim Marsh has transformed Half Pint into a masterpiece themed in Stoughton landmarks, traditions and local foods. Stop by the store and say "hi" to Half Pint.

For those of you that don't know, Half Pint is a calf statue that previously occupied the Co-op's window by the books and children's toys. Kim Marsh won a contest last year to redecorate the statue for the Co-op.
