Cultural Days: While we may be a
rural area, the Arts Council makes
sure that we are continually staying
connected to our global community by
supplying the local community with
Cultural Days. A more hands-on
experiential moment occurs as
everyone is invited into activities,
foods, and lectures which showcase
different cultures. The end result is an
enjoyable time full of making
connections and learning new things
for all.
