🥕 Early Season Farmers Market This Tuesday! 🍓

Don't forget! The Farmers Market is happening this Tuesday! Since it is still early in the season, our vendor lineup is still coming together. Vendors do not always inform us of their schedules in advance, so we do not have a confirmed list of who will be there this week. Reesiliency Baked Goods & More will be open and easiily accessible from the market and Buff Bockers will be there possibly selling homemade ice cream! If you are a vendor and planning on coming out, please comment below!

We highly encourage you to stop by anyway, explore the market, and see who is set up! Your support helps our local vendors as the season gets underway.
📍 Where: Post Office Park
⏰ When: Tuesday, June 2 from 4-6pm
See you there!

🎉 BIG (BELATED) CONGRATULATIONS TO BRODY COOPER! 🎉
Even though the school year has officially wrapped up and our amazing seniors are headed off to their next big chapters, we wanted to take a special moment to celebrate an outstanding achievement!

Please join us in congratulating Brody Cooper, the proud recipient of this year's NIB Scholarship! 🎓✨

While academic excellence and extracurricular achievements are highly commendable, the NIB scholarship looks beyond the classroom and the scoreboard. We look to honor a student who represents the very heartbeat of our community - a student who shows that true success is measured by the lives you touch and the community you help to build.

Brody, we are so proud of you and cannot wait to see how you continue to change the community and the world around you! Drop some love for Brody in the comments below! 👇❤️

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. As we spend time with family and loved ones, let us never forget that our freedom is a gift paid for by the fallen. We are forever grateful for their selflessness, courage, and legacy.

"Home of the free, because of the brave."

Join us in keeping the "memory" in Memorial Day. Who are you remembering today? Feel free to share their names or photos in the comments below. 👇
