Christmas on Main & Community Service
Next Sunday, December 7th our community will be celebrating Christmas with two different events, starting with Christmas on Main from 2-5pm. Some of our local churches will be taking part by having booth on Main Street, and the event will wrap up with lighting of the tree.
