Members of our community park board were excited to welcome Valley Home resident Ryan Cope as a new member of the park board. Ryan will serve as Treasurer for the community park. There is one board position open, if anyone would like to fill the open seat, please call Don Taro at 404-1641. The next event at the little park will be the “Christmas Tree Lighting” on December 5th. The colorful lights will be turned on immediately after the Community Lighted Parade. Valley Home 4-Hers will lead our community in singing Christmas carols followed by the Christmas Community Potluck Dinner in the school gym. Our little community park is almost always at the center of community happenings ... we are blessed!
Remember all are welcome to come and enjoy a beautiful, old fashioned Community Christmas Parade, the community tree lighting and the community Christmas Potluck Dinner afterward. A very special night in Valley Home!
