9th Annual Harvest Party!

Party!  Our Annual Harvest Party is also dedicated to our wonderful Volunteers this year!  Come for a double-fun time, to appreciate our organizationally vital Volunteers, as well as the bounty of our harvest; and the Local Farmers that make it happen!  Join us for the Potluck, Games, and Prizes.  Lion's Park, 7th and Wilson: Sunday, September 8th, 1p-5p.

See you there!
