Find Your Family Fun!

By Shannon O'Donnell October 18, 2023

Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher!  This weekend is jam-packed with events. One of our family favorites is the Pancake Breakfast at Lonshop-McCoy Fire & Rescue. This is a volunteer run organization. My family and extended family has needed to rely on their resources a few times and I am grateful for all their hard work and dedication to our community. We enjoy thanking them by attending the annual Community Pancake Breakfast. We hope your family has a wonderful weekend.
