Annual General Meeting.

Each year we hold our Annual General Meeting where celebrate all the things we accomplished in the past year and we elect our Board of Directors for next year. This year at our meeting, we will liven things up with a raffle for some great prize baskets. The tickets are free, you just need to join us at our meeting and enjoy the fun!

This very popular event will be back in 2026! Living Locally Fair is a wonderful event where you can find all kinds of fantastic locally grown and made items. Now run by St. Thomas Aquinas High School, the Russell and District Horticultural Society will have a booth, so stop by and say hi!
