So far this week has been a week of surprises. Yesterday a staff member from Kansas Appleseed stopped by at the Summer Food Program and handed out t-shirts to all the kids and then in the afternoon a kind person from the community brought in backpacks for the kids. Each day at the Summer Food Program we will draw a name for those that are in need of a backpack. We also have someone else in our community that comes every week with a bag of snacks for the kids to take home for an afternoon snack. Many communities couldn't continue with the Summer Food Program because of the lack of volunteers but not Dighton. No phone calls were needed everyone called us to take a week. This is a community with a kind heart and sees that the children come first. Thanks everyone for helping with this program.
Join us next week on Monday & Tuesday at the Methodist Church for lunch & a movie. Don't be late movie will start at 11:30 and end at 12:30 with the second half of the movie on Tuesday.
Don't forget about the story walk out at the fair. The story walk boards are among the rides but don't forget to check in the beef barn and round top.
Summer Food Program will end on August 11th. Plan on visiting us Monday thru Friday 11:30 to 12:30. Give mom a break and have lunch on us.
The Lane County Library will close at 5 p.m. on Thursday for the Lane County Fair.
