Tomorrow is the last day to gather prizes, let me know if you have a gift certificate or something you’d like to share. I’ll be collecting a few more things in town before the farmers market, and making up a market basket.

Thank you to all the businesses that have donated through the years. Our community is full of lovely people, our small businesses here are awesome!
