Heritage Days 2011 was a great success!

The car show on Wednesday saw many new entries, the barn dance on Saturday evening had a much larger attendance than last year, and we had a great crowd for the parade and other activities on Saturday. A hearty THANK YOU goes out to all of those who volunteered to make Heritage Days happen, to all of those who participated in the events and to the community who turned out to support all of the events which took place over the past five days.

Video clips and still photo video slideshows of the events will be posted to the Gallery page over the next week or two. Currently we have a video slideshow of the car show posted on the Gallery page.

What happened to the Wild Horse Drive?

As many of you may have discovered, the Wild Horse Drive happened at approxiamtely 1:15 p.m., Saturday, instead of 2:00 p.m. as scheduled. At this time, the reason for this change has not been communicated to the Heritage Days committee. The Wild Horse Drive, like many other events, takes place during Heritage Days but is not under the supervision or control of the Heritage Days Committee.

The Heritage Days committee will, however, investigate this situation and work to ensure that it is not repeated in the future.
