In its own words
The second annual Pumpkin Drop was another great success that the community really enjoyed. The annual Canadian Bull Congress continues to a popular event. Our quarterly bingos continue to be a fun event for the community. The Acreage & Garden show drew many visitors and exhibitors and the workshops were very popular. The Community Gardens were also all used this year. Our 5050 sales and Nevada Ticket sales continue to be very important to our organization.
