Here’s a list of activities happening in various communities this summer
Now that people have put away their goose-break gear until next season, we can look at what we are going to do during the summer months. Each community hosts different events ranging from tournaments to fishing derbies to camp meetings to pow-wows so that you and your families can have fun.
I made lots of phone calls and left lots of messages to find out what was happening this summer. Here are some of the events for certain communities. For those I left out, I didn’t forget you, I just didn’t get the information I needed in the proper time frame. So enjoy yourself and have lots of fun. Agooda, until next year.
