We are looking for donations for our float!

We are looking for corn stocks, hay squares and wheat bundles.

Our youth have had fun coming up with this idea and matching the music to entertain the community at next week's Bushnell fall fest. We ask if any farms or poeple that grow there own garden to possibly help these kids out by donating some of the items listed. This is there first parade as a group and they are so excited. So if you feel in your heart you would like to help please feel free to reach out.

We would like to thank the wonderful deputies that came and talked with our kids about the dangers of Fentanyl and the risk of overdose. We are so proud of our teens for listening, answering and asking questions to the deputies. Its truly warms my heart to hear each of them answer questions and even use scientific words to answer the officers questions. Thank you again!
