LRS, our portable bathrooms service, found a phone that they were able to recover and called the emergency contact and left a message, and called the last person called “Nate” but they didn’t answer. If this is your phone we have it for you and can coordinate a pick up.

🇺🇸 A huge THANK YOU to Nextera for sponsoring the 90th Annual Pine Island Cheese Festival Parade! 🇺🇸

This year, we're celebrating two historic milestones—the 90th anniversary of the Pine Island Cheese Festival and America's 250th birthday. To mark the occasion, we're hosting a Patriotic Float Contest, and parade-goers can expect to see plenty of 🇺🇸 red, white, and blue 🇺🇸 throughout the parade route!

We are also honored to recognize the Pine Island Vietnam Veterans as this year's Grand Marshals. These veterans answered our nation's call to serve during one of the most challenging periods in American history. Their sacrifices, courage, and dedication deserve our deepest gratitude and respect.



On behalf of the Pine Island Cheese Festival and the entire community, thank you to our Vietnam Veterans for your service.



🇺🇸 The parade begins at 1:00 PM, and we invite everyone to come out and join us as we celebrate 90 years of Cheese Festival tradition and 250 years of American history!🇺🇸
