Our youth public speaking was held on February 17 and while there were less competitors than in previous years, the quality of the speakers and their speeches more than made up for it.

Coming up on March 3 will be another breakfast from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Full breakfast of eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, beans, toast, juice, tea/coffee. Pancakes and cheese omelettes also available.
