Programs are held every Sunday afternoon. On August 3 we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bell’s Blacksmith Shop. Blacksmiths have been invited to a “Hammer-in” that day, an opportunity for camaraderie and the exchange of ideas. Every Sunday a blacksmith demonstrates his skill at the forge. The long-standing Antique Tractor and Classic Car Display featuring vintage trac- tors, cars, trucks and stationary engines will be held on July 20. The opening program on July 6 is “Cowboy Poetry” in the church. Admission is free.
Friday afternoons at 2 p.m. there will be social events in the Airmen’s Billet (H-hut) including chess, cards and line dancing. They will be followed by refreshments in the Tea Room. Fridays have been designated for celebrating birthdays. We’ll treat you to dessert and a beverage on the Friday specified for your birth month.
