Fair Clean-up
1) Its the day for the fair grounds clean-up. You'll want to come; we've invited some very special helpers to come that day! Meet the staff at 9:00 on Saturday morning and when you're all finished we will serve delicious root-beer floats!!!
2) August 4th is also the day for turning in all raffle ticket stubs and money + the tickets you didn't sell. You can turn them in ahead of this time so we can get the money deposited, but everything will need to be turned in by August 4th. There will be opportunities to sell tickets during the fair, watch future News Blast announcements for those details.
Thanks, everyone!
