**ANNOUNCEMENT**
No Spring Fish Fry
Due to declining attendance, "competition" like Mother's Day and Spring weather, and other factors, the General Membership of JCBVFD has decided to end our Spring Fish Fry. Our Fall Fish Fry will still be an annual event on the 2nd Saturday of October. We are appreciative of our Community and the support you continue to show us and hope to see you in October. Be Safe!
