I want to wish the students leaving for college, and their parents, all the best of luck in the coming year. It is an exciting and sometimes challenging time, and I wish everyone good luck on their next chapter.
I hope to see everyone at the farmers market and car show, concert and fireworks Sunday. Have a great weekend.
