Tragedy is a time for support
The tragic news that took place on early Saturday morning has shook our community. The community and more importantly two families have lost their sons because of this awful event. Social media has been on fire since the crash and I am happy to say most of it (unlike normal) has been positive. There are some pointing fingers and accusing this person or that person. This is not the time for that, this is the time to rally around these families to show love and support. The pain they are going through is absolutely unimaginable.

Apple Festival was a great time
I hope you had a chance to visit Almelund’s Apple Festival last Sunday. We went and the crowds seemed bigger than ever. We had some absolutely incredible desserts that were made by Apple Festival volunteers. We did grab a bag of apples (and yikes they are not cheap anymore) that we are still enjoying today. Thanks to all who helped put on this wonderfully quaint event. Take it from an outsider, we all love the apple festival.
