New Fans & Signs Installed
A huge thank you to Anderson Electric for helping with electrical upgrades at the Art Center. During the process, it became clear that our fans needed replacing as well. Thankfully, grant funding will help make those improvements possible and keep the space more comfortable for everyone this season. Tim Holte put our signs up!
