Wagon rides must be booked at least two days in advance.

The DVD Programs will run about 1 hour long and can be requested for viewing on the TV or shown in the Auditorium at anytime on the day it is scheduled. Art Rohr will be available to answer questions.

Other problems may arise causing a cancellation of programs. It is best to call and check on all scheduled programs.
