Did You Know? Volunteer Opportunity at Cass County Fair!

The 4-H Department of the Cass County Fair is looking for volunteers to monitor the youth exhibits in the Lowe Building while the fair is in progress this year. Volunteers will have specific shifts, but will get a free admission to the fair on that day. It’s a great way to give back to your community, and a good way to support the hard-working kids who do projects for the fair. Check out the flyer below for more specific details and contact information.

We were very excited to hear from Bree Broecker when she announced the opening of the Marcellus Free Store. The store is located at 105 West Main Street in Marcellus, Michigan, and is open Wednesdays 9-11 AM and Sundays, 9 AM to noon.

The store has clothing, shoes, toys, and even non-perishable food! What an asset to the community! They plan to have summer fun equipment like bikes for kids in the coming months, and swap out their offerings weekly.

Donations are always welcome, and can be brought to the store during the scheduled hours, or if you contact them, you can make an appointment to drop off items.
