Quilt show, Carrabelle festival to highlight weekend
Hi Y’all, Happy Easter Week
If you want to know what is happening with the St. James/Lanark Volunteer Fire Department, attend one of the meetings on the third Monday of each month at 6 p.m. ET. Often, residents put out questions, but are not going to the source to get the correct answers. Get involved, the volunteers need your support to be successful. They are doing their part, now let’s do our part by participating. The volunteers continue to have training to get certified in the many requirements. A training was held last week with these fine volunteers as shown in this article.
On Tuesday, April 15, at the American Legion Post 82, Lanark/Carrabelle, the Legion Riders congratulated Robin Barnett, the winner of the 1911 .45-cal limited edition pistol, which was raffled off by the Riders to support “Stop Veterans Suicide.” The raffle started on Feb. 22, giving people plenty of time to get their tickets. The presenters were Jeff Allen, assistant director, and Remona Larsen, director.
Lanark is getting ready for the Carrabelle Riverfront Festival, an activity that most from Lanark enjoy, this Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Lanark Village Wandering Stars Quilt Club will be offering a wonderful array of quilts in their Airing of the Quilts at George Sands Park on Highway 98. Many Lanark residents are members of this wonderful group. There will be quilts for sale and some just for viewing. You will also have an opportunity to buy tickets on a quilt where the proceeds go to the Friends of Franklin County Public Libraries. The drawing will be at 2:30 p.m.
Love Lanark!
