HELP WITH THE HORSE BARN!

Many of you helped at the horse barn with repairs - well, now they have the paint ready to go! There will be paint and brushes available tomorrow at 8:00 am if you are willing to come by to put a fresh coat on the new boards.

They would certainly enjoy the help so that it looks sharp next week.
