Committees from the Faith Chamber of Commerce and the Faith Volunteer Fire Dept. met on Monday night the 24th to start getting ready for this years Demolition Derby to be held on Saturday June 14th. Discussion was held on the amount of added prize money, which organization will be responsible for which aspects and so on - mostly just a brainstorming session to get things rolling. There are still some things that have to be finalized before anything is set in stone, but we’ll be keeping you posted. The committee must go to a City Council meeting as well as a Faith Stock Show meeting to ask permission to use the arena and coordinate scheduling. We’re anticipating a larger turn out of spectators this year with the “SUE” exhibit being here, so we want to make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed. Working with the Stock Show Assoc. and the 4-H Rodeo to properly prepare the arena before and after the Derby will be key, particularly this year since the 4-H rodeo is being held the weekend after Father’s Day and the arena will need to be put back in tip top shape. Any idea’s, thoughts, suggestions, or volunteers are welcome - contact the Chamber or the Fire Dept!
Horizons wants to clean up our community! We are looking for volunteer groups such as churches, 4-H & other clubs, etc. Or individuals interested in helping us out. Some activities include painting, raking, planting flowers, general clean up, & repair. We would like to spruce up our city park, paint some poles & signs, & distribute some garbage barrels & flower planters around town. We would also like volunteers to help the elderly & others get prepared for April’s ‘City Wide Clean-Up Month’. This would possibly include cleaning yards, moving some large objects, and other various chores. If interested in helping to make our community a more beautiful place or would like to receive some help sprucing up your property, please contact Debbie Brown at the city office at 967-2261 or Jon or Katrina Collins, in the evening, at 967-2834.
