Plans for the Women’s Expo are being finalized and there is still vendor space for any entrepreneurs looking for a chance to feature their products. Crafts and activities for children can also be featured. This event which corresponds to the International Women’s Expo will be held March 8 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Pioneer Days is March 20 to 23. Food vendor applications are due this week and there are still a few spaces left for merchandise vendors.
A special note: Lately we have received comments such as “how come we do not have as many activities as one of our neighboring communities who seems to have something every weekend?” Answer: We do have lots of ideas but it takes volunteers to make them successful!
