A lot to digest, but I would encourage you to come out and take in as much as you can, this is the stuff that make our communities so very special.
Last week, I invited the public to a great community meal sponsored by A Brush with Kindness. The meal takes place on July 20 before the Harmony in the Park begins.
The meal will run from 5 to 6:15 and is held at Trinity Lutheran Church. Last week I told you it was at Zion. I apologize, it would be somewhat difficult to walk from Zion to Harmony in the Park considering Zion church is in Chisago City.
We need to apologize again for another bit of information we had wrong last week. We had an upcoming for a Civil War program at Folsom House in Taylors Falls. The info provided said the event was June 25 and July 25 and we had it as July 25. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
