Until then, take a minute to check out the gallery of photos put together by Gene Sly and Levi Grannis.

We will be selling raffle tickets Saturday and Sunday for our Ugly Purse Raffle. Purses will hold a group of certificates to local establishments and businesses. Each group is a surprise (see our table for a list of possible winnings). One “purse” is not a surprise, a load of firewood is option “S.” Be sure to get tickets in on your favorite purse and hope you’re the lucky winner!
