Despite the rain, we were so thankful to have a full house at our Native American Heritage Month event this last Saturday! Good food, good presentations, good company, good community - all in a good way.

We want to express our gratitude to this community that always shows up for us. Thank you! Keep an eye on us as we continue to grow and develop into 2026 and the next seven generations.

Thank you to all the vendors, presenters, and community members who shared their culture, experience, and joy with us.
