Every year at this time we begin planning the Harvest Festival. We are seeking new members. We meet once per month at City Hall beginning in February through September, and then ultimately volunteers would help the day of the festival! The 2008 Harvest Festival will be held on Saturday, September 13th. If you wish to volunteer your time to help us with this community project and have fun doing it, please let us know!
