Last week we hosted two amazing events. Our Youth Fishing Event with the Elkins Fish and Game Club on Thursday had some excited young anglers who enjoyed a perfect morning on Pleasant Lake. On Friday, we held our Flying into Fall event and had lots of kids and families come out for the paper airplane contest and drumming on the Green. A big thanks to Echo Communications and Julie Correy and Kathy Lowe for collaborating on this event.
