The Optimist’s Club Annual Garage Sale will be May 13 at the Casting Club...don’t miss this sale this year. We have thousands of items, from furniture to clothes and everything in between. NO PRICES...DONATIONS ONLY! There will also be a silent auction inside that day with beautiful items to bid on.

We are so excited about our upcoming St. Jude fundraiser! The plans for this year’s Home Run Festival on June 3rd are completed. The craft show in the park will begin at 9am with entertainment on the stage beginning at 11am. The entertainment includes: The Mountain Men, Cami’s Dance Studio, The Chillicothe Players, The Pearce Line Dancers, Let’s Dance Studio, and Heaven’s Outlaw Band. New this year is a Semi-Truck show downtown. There will be a dunk tank, basketball hoops, and baseball batting cage for the kids, along with raffles, 50/50 tickets, and the Police, Fire Department, and AMT will be there to talk and give tours of their vehicles. 

Catch the Brad Wallin movie that will be playing at our Town Theater all weekend. Also, the Optimist ladies will be having a bake sale to tempt you with their culinary delights and some of the churches will be handing out free water, too. There will be a scavenger hunt downtown in our great stores, so get signed up for that and win prizes... and while you are in the stores check out the sales. Also, back this year is the popular plant and flower booth. Webb’s Food Truck will be there and our great restaurants will be open and expecting you. We encourage you to bring your lawn chairs and stay the day! Remember all proceeds go to St. Jude’s!

Our next endeavor is Flag Day. Show your patriotism and buy a flag. Watch out for us on June 9th and 10th at some of the intersections with our flags. All proceeds go back to the Optimist’s Club to fund scholarships and programs for our youth.

Until next month....Stay Optimistic!
