Thanks to all that attended our annual open house. It was a record turnout, we are still in the process of estimating the number of attendance, however we do know we exceeded last year’s count of 1500 people. This was by far our best open house yet. We do apologize for those that came and were not able to get a free lunch. We ran out of food and balloons in about 2 hours. This was an unexpected problem, however it goes to show the support of the community, we very much appreciated everyone for coming down and spending some time with us. We hope that you had a good time and learned something new.
