What a great car show the Rockford Lion's club held last Saturday, August 22nd. There were around 90 cars, pickups and a motorcycle in the City park. Participants said that for the first time for this kind of show, it was very organized and alot of fun. Good job!
Speaking of alot of fun, this is the last Thursday for the "Movies in the Park" series as school starts next week. At 6:30pm there will be free hot dogs available and the movie "Sandlot" will start at 8:30pm. Remember there will be free popcorn and pop.
The Wednesday night basketball in the park will continue until it gets too cold.
The Farmer's market will be on going until September 19th. There is alot of fresh produce available from the three community gardens.
The Horizon's group is now developing the plans to continue with the community gardens in the future. Suggestions that you may have will be appreciated-such as types of crop, a gleaning program, etc.
The Rockford website is continually being updated at www.rockfordwa.com. Josh and Andrew are doing well as are webmasters.
The Rockford Community Center (RCC) group meets on the first Monday of the month in the Harvest Moon and with the help of the Horizon's committee are diligently drafting plans on the future of this project. Various programs are being researched that will be a benefit to the community such as a day care, lending library, computer lab, tutoring, veteran's mobile medical clinic, youth activites, and meeting rooms. Once a location is established a community building will be available for all to use.

We returned from our fishing trip just in time to hear the judges awards at the car show, and get to admire all the entries before they drove away.
So when I visited the blog this morning, hoping to catch up on local news, I was especially delighted to read Micki's fine story.
All the addition information about upcoming events confirms my belief that this Horizons blog is a tremendous benefit to the community.
Thanks to Rockford's city officials partnering with our Horizons leaders to link the blog to the website, we residents now can be informed, and participate better. Thanks, Micki, for taking the time to write your post.
I'll be watching for news from all the organizations and groups that make our 'adopted' community a wonderful place to live.
