 Business Manager Comments   

I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the Labor Day parade on September 1st.  Please plan to bring your family out and walk the parade with us!  There is also plenty of room on the float for riders if you can’t walk.  Lets have a great showing this year and a big crowd!  This is always fun for the whole family.  Afterwards we will be grilling out at the hall and will have a bouncy house for the kids to play in!  See you there!

Hope to see you at the parade and picnic afterwards!
