Main Street News: August 29

Another Potato Days weekend has come and gone. Over Potato Days, I hope you had a chance to take in some events, enjoy some great food, activities and fellowship. Of course, many of us in town took the opportunity to help out an organization or group as well. It is astonishing how many volunteer hours go into an event of this size. Many thanks go out to everyone that did their part to make Potato Days a success. That includes everyone who extended a heartfelt welcome to all of our guests in town.

Now that Potato Days is over, the summer activities have come to a close. Glue and markers are being put into the back packs and the new sneakers are just waiting for the first day of school. Educators and school staff have been busy readying their classrooms and school facilities for the first week. Parents are busy with last minute preparations of schedules and planning, transportation and changes in child care services. We want to wish all of the students and faculty heading back to school a great year ahead! As many return to the fall school schedule, evenings are filled with sports activities. Best of luck to both the football and volleyball teams in a great season!

When school is back in session it marks a new season for everyone!  The Main Street Program is busy working on an Area-Wide Rummage Sale scheduled for September 24^th.  That means it’s time to go through your cupboards, closets, & garages to clean out! Look for more information in the Record Review on how to sign up for the rummage sale.  We are also looking for any farmers or gardeners who would like to sell their fall goods on this day.  If you are interested, please contact the Main Street Program for more information at 354-2479.
