Thank you all so very much for making the 2nd Annual Witches Night Out a great success! You all looked great. All the pennies you brought are so very much appreciated. It means the world to our community. Also the food drive is going so well and your donations blew us away! The shelves at the Community Center are looking much full thanks to your generosity. The little shopping cart will remain at the desk of Flukes for awhile yet so please stop by and drop off what you can. Have a great day. The sun is shinning and the trees look beautiful.
