As always this event is FREE to attend!
Here are some of the resources that are in store for attendees to this event please pass along the event brochure, the email, or the attachment as this is a free event and it can only benefit our community. The general public is allowed to attend and I am hoping to show resources and cooperation within our growing community! OK enough suspense this is so exciting:
We have 16 families that are signed up to swap and sell their used materials!
Craft table for the kids! Children are the responsibility of their parents and should not be left unattended as this event and the community center are open to the general public!
Come meet the Taylor Ranch Fire Department when they bring their truck by between 10-11AM!!
