A New Year….

News
January always seems like one of the longest months of the year; however this year it seems to have flown by. I think it's because we've only experienced a true taste of winter the last couple of weeks. We've kicked off our year already with our general meeting on January 9th! However it's way too cold outside to get too much done; so you won't hear a lot from us until Spring. If you're looking for an advanced list we hope to have those posted soon, so check back often. Save the Date for September 16-18, 2016 and join us for another fair.

Another Fair Weekend comes to an End…

Fair, News
It's always sad to see another Fair weekend has come and gone. Our volunteers work so hard every year to prepare for Fair weekend, it's a bit of a disappointment when the weekend comes to a close. Despite the rain we had Saturday, it was another successful year! We kicked off the weekend with a great performance from R&R Pet Paradise with their Power Paws Show. Saturday started with a down pour and the beginning of the parade. Thanks to all those that braved the rain to watch & participate in our parade.         One of the exciting displays at the Fair this year was the Zoo to You Exhibit & the BMX Bike Show. Both displays were certainly a hit with the younger crowd! [caption id="attachment_193"…

It’s Canning Season…

Classes
The lazy hazy days of summer are almost coming to a close being that it's now the month of August. We all know what that means, right? It means school is just around the corner and the harvest is in full swing. It could also mean that your kitchen is in full canning mode. Well, Guess what?! We have many, many, many different classes to enter your canning and preserves into. We're sure there is almost a class for everything! So why not show us what you've been up to and enter your preserves in our Fair, it's only about a month away, Folks!
