Giving Back to Pretty In Pink Foundation

In October, we commemorated and supported the fight against breast cancer by driving our Pink F-250 around town. With 195 signatures and a generous $6000 donation to the Pretty In Pink Foundation, the collective effort made it 'Just Better' in advancing this cause. Reflecting on this day, it's evident that through support and donations, the message rings loud and clear: No One Fights Alone!

Hometown Heroes

To honor those who keep us safe in our community, we hosted a Hometown Heroes Event! We celebrated with music and food and awarded recognition plaques to those who serve in our police, fire, and EMS departments. Just a small thanks to those who protect us every day!
