It’s hard to believe the first week of June has arrived and we are in the final countdown to the end of the school year. We are looking forward to soaking up all that there is to offer in our community during the summertime.

The Lake Huntington Presbyterian Church Sunday School set up a mission project to collect loose change. It has raised $130, which was donated to the Presbyterian Giving Catalog. With the help of church members and the Sunday School children, they received enough money to buy two flocks of chickens and two baby piglets to help families in need overseas. Well done, and a great job to all involved.

Here are a few upcoming local events that are happening in our community and nearby towns.

The ninth annual car show at Hector’s Inn takes place on Saturday, July 29 at 12 noon. All vehicles are welcome. If it has wheels, bring it on in! There’s no judging of cars and no entry fee.
