4th of July!
We are busy getting ready for our booth at the Wardsboro 4th of July Parade and Celebration. Would you like to help? 896-3416. 
Volunteers needed to help set, up, staff the booth and clean up. We're also helping at the Live Auction and could use extra hands there too. Also, RAFFLE helpers needed to organize the raffle and help sel tickets. This is the best raffle ever - a folk art painting and a handmade quilt. See the Calendar of Events page for details.
Please help a FRIEND.
