🌲 Our roots run deep, and our gratitude runs even deeper.
Thank you to everyone who stepped out to Parker’s Landing Friday for our living history challenge! You didn’t just show up—you truly became a part of the story. 🕵️‍♂️
A special thank you to Larry for providing the beautiful live accordion music that kept the atmosphere so lively between our history stations, and a huge congratulations to our "Founders' Bounty" grand prize winner! 🪗🏆
None of this would be possible without our incredible storytellers, actors, volunteers, and the wonderful community booths who shared the plaza with us.

Thank you again to all involved and who attended!
