Because Apple Day consumed much of our time and energy, we may be a little behind in our acknowledgements to some of you who donated your time, money and in-kind gifts. In the meantime, we wish to thank the entire community for your support and positive feedback that we have received for this our first year of continuing a time honored tradition. With your continued support we hope to make it an even more enjoyable festivity next year. Halloween goodies On Sunday Oct 31st, the Penrose Park and Recreation will have free hot dogs and hot chocolate. The Chamber will be giving away candy.
All ages are welcome.
We also received an invitation for the Christmas parade in Canon City. The poles to hang decorations on have been delivered and Gary will pursue getting the street surveyed. Mary and Olive with take care of it. Penny Schenck gave a report on the success of Apple Day and acknowledged the superb job that the Miss Apple Day committee did in securing donations for the scholarship. She also reported that the comments have been very good in reference to the change in emphasis from beauty to academic and community service for the contestants.
