Reminder! Sign up forms for the City-Wide garage sales are are due on Saturday, June 20. Forms may be picked up at the City office, the side of the Little Free Library and at the shop at 408 Main St and may be dropped off at either the city office or the shop. If you can’t drop it off and still want to sign up, email your information, including your name, address, dates and times of your sale, a brief description of your items for sale and if you plan to be open if it rains to ridgewaycba@gmail.com. The lists will be available the week before the sales. You are responsible for your own advertising.
The Ridgeway Community Betterment Association is working hard to plan this year’s 4th of July to celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation. They need volunteers to help prepare, serve and clean-up this year’s post parade lunch. Please consider volunteering to help make this the best 4th of July celebration possible!
To add some more fun to the celebration, RCBA is organizing games in the park from 2 pm to 4 pm, though people can stay later to enjoy the park if desired. So far, they are planning on a tug-of-war competition. Horseshoes, corn hole boards, croquet and a volleyball net may be available for anyone to play. They are also asking for families or groups to sponsor old-fashioned games or races such as three-legged races, sack races or something similar. Game organizers will be responsible for providing equipment and running the games; prizes are optional. For more information, please contact a board member or email ridgewaycba@gmail.com. RCBA board members are Gloria Craig, Susie Rollheiser, Kristi Reeder, Tammy Harding, Sydney Craig, Paula Scott and Joni Sequira.
CLOSING: If you know of any events or plans around town that you would like to see shared with others, please send me the details by Sunday evening! Thank you for reading!
