First Fridays is tonight!

Swing by today from 5:30 to 6:30 PM for a lively Tarantella Dance Class as part of Clarksburg's First Fridays event. It’s a great way to get moving and try out a traditional Italian folk dance along with other downtown festivities.

If you're a fan of local history, you won't want to miss the exhibit on display today and running all month long titled "From Slate Boards to Smart Boards: The History of Harrison County Schools." This collection traces the county's educational journey from remote one-room schoolhouses to modern consolidated schools. Whether you're an alumnus reminiscing about long-closed halls or just curious about the past, it’s a wonderful walk down memory lane!
