We have several big announcements! Due to several requests, we will be having BINGO Thursday, Dec. 31! Come out and try your luck; we are normally done by 8:45 p.m. This night we will have hot dogs with the normal concession snacks. The Hog Wild progressive pull tab game has reached $900! Purchase some Hog Wild tickets, see if your number is a winner, and if your number is called, not only do you immediately win $100 but then you get a chance at the Jack Pot of $900! Come out and see us, play some BINGO, and see if you can start the New Year as a winner of $1,000 and still be home to watch the ball drop.

Our final announcement is that as we are merging our Fire & EMS into one department effective the new year, we have adopted a new symbol, as pictured.
