It won鈥檛 be long before school is back in session and fall programs are back in action. Remember to support your local businesses when making purchases for these annual fall commitments. These businesses support your clubs, organizations, places and spaces all year and your support is a way of thanking them for doing so. That support includes, your local paper, which are also a local, small town business. Consider an ad in your local paper to advertise registration nights or other upcoming events later this summer and early this fall.
Next week, don鈥檛 forget the bi-weekly farmers鈥� market continues at the Adanac Hall at our museum grounds. Every second week is a lunch special in addition to vendors selling home-made or home- grown products for a unique shopping experience.
Remember last year when your local Lions club donated over $30,000 from their Chase the Ace fundraiser? This was possible because of your support of this weekly lotto.
