The 4th Annual Commerce Days starts Thursday.  I encourage everyone to check out all the great, family festivities they have planned over three days.  This is a wonderful event, that showcases our neighbors to the north.  Make plans to attend!

 

GAR Cemetery is hosting their annual Memorial Day Ceremony this morning at 9am.  It is a great way to honor our veterans' service.

 

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend.

 

Have a great week!

Michele
