River Road Health Mart Pharmacy is locally owned and operated by husband
and wife; Brian and Jeannie Marr. Since opening its doors in January 2009 the
Marr’s have been bringing back customer service to the pharmacy industry.
River Road Health Mart is located a mile and a half south of Beltline, next to
River Road Medical Group and across the street from Sara’s Treasures.
Health Mart Pharmacy provides its customers with a wide range of services
such as: short wait times, delivery and drive thru, online refills, compounding
for people and pets, able to get next day CII and uncommon medicines, adult
immunizations and flu-shots, a boutique style gift shop, and pharmacists who
will get to know you personally.
What our customers are saying
"Everyone knows me by name! I can find amazing, fun gifts while I wait (a very
short time) for my prescriptions to be filled. Brian even knows the over the
counter vitamins I take and has them for me so I don't have to find them myself!
Jeannie has made 3 delivery trips for me in the same week! Cindy has worked
out how I can pick everything up on my unemployed budget! I could go on and
on! Oh yeah, and I stop by once a week just to say hello because everyone is
just so awesome!" –Sonja
"I love that I reorder a prescription online and 20 minutes later I get an email
notice saying it is done! Also love the delivery option when I don't have time to
add another errand to my busy day." –Michelle
"When I walk in everybody knows who I am and you even have drugs for little
Oreo and Ozzy." –Fred

Events
Events are becoming increasingly more 4 popular and
well attended. There has also been a shift in the
thinking of possible event locations. In July, Ex-
travaganza was hosted by Jordan Iverson & and Leah
Hyland showcasing one of Jordan’s newly completed
projects the Willamette St. LOFTS. They were
beautiful homes and the event gained great compli-
ments.
In August, Ashley and Rachael at Rhythm and
Blooms hosted a memorable Extravaganza at their
retail location within 5th St. Public Market. Though
it was the first rainy day in weeks, everyone was
blooming with smiles and took home a bundle of
Sunflowers to brighten their week!
In September, Steve Jensen of Better Body & Paint
is hosting what he promotes as the Best Extrava-
ganza EVER! Better Body & Paint is sweeping up
the shop and pulling all the stops for an evening

vers from Mac’s Custom Catering, Live back ground
music, and a Cash Bar is certain to keep everyone in

Lately there has been great interest and success in
hosting Extravaganza at locations outside of an es-
tablished restaurant/lounge. When I ask around,
these events are well received and have been making
for truly enjoyable and successful networking. Ex-
travaganza will continue to find restaurant/lounge
locations, however, it is the goal to include more
sponsored events. If your business is interested in
hosting a future Extravaganza please contacts me at

Website
I can’t tell you how excited I am to say that 7
www.EugeneExtravaganza.com is soon to release the
new calendar. Sponsored by Julianne Harris of Pre-Paid
Legal Services this calendar will allow members of the
site to post their own events directly to the calendar.
This application will make Extravaganza’s event calen-
dar the most up to date and informative networking cal-
endar in our community. There are many details to come
on this new feature so listen for updates and get ready to
expose your events!

Once the Calendar is complete and operational there are

further aspects of the web site planned for later release.
Some of these features cost money (generally under
$100) and get held up by budget restraints— as you
know Extravaganza is a non-revenue generating event.
It’s generosity of sponsors and their goodwill to the peo-
ple that fund most major aspects of Extravaganza. If you
or your business are interested in sponsoring further de- September’s
velopments to the website in exchange for recognition
please contact me at Chris@EugeneExtravaganza.com. Co-Sponsor

Momentum
The crowd at Extravaganza is growing in size and diversity. The word is out about
Extravaganza and awareness is increasing. Most who attend find value in the event,
tell others about it, and support its existence and growth.

Rich Adams at Sterling Editions / Sterling Graphics has generously donated a full-
size banner and window cling to the Extravaganza cause. His donation will help to
distinguish where Extravaganza is and assist in our representation at events. It’s sup-
port like this that truly adds to the experience of Extravaganza for us all!

In Conclusion, Extravaganza is experiencing exciting times and changes as we all pull

together and take it to the next level. By paying it forward and creating opportunity
for our peers, there is always a way to get involved and receive recognition for your
