We're waiting on names for the 5K, tractor pull, etc. and

they will be included in next week's news. Corinne did report

that between 550 - 600 people ate or took home food from 

the BBQ - that might be an all time record!

Remember July is National Ice Cream Month

(just in case you need an excuse to eat ice cream!)

What you can do to prevent cross connections

and keep your drinking water safe: Protect faucet

extensions by installing proper backflow devices

(hose bib vacuum breakers) on all faucets capable

of having a hose or other extension attached.
