We are currently making plans for having a Juneteenth Celebration on Saturday June 19. This year we plan to provide a meal as a fund raiser project. Tentatively plans are to open the gate a 9 AM and keep it open until 4 PM. With a lunch meal planned for sometime after Noon. Plates will be made available for $3. We will be firming up some of this information at tomorrow's meeting. I will get back with you. Thanks again for the inquiry.
