We're all getting that malady that we don't mind catching this time of year--Spring Fever! We're ready to trade in our snow boots for garden boots, our heavy coats for lighter-weight jackets, and our stuck-in-the-driveway blues for freedom to roam whenever, wherever...ah, Spring Fever!
The Jefferson Township Ruritan is ready to "spring" into action as well. During the winter months a great deal of initial planning has gone on to give the area's folks some opportunities to get out and about and enjoy some civic fellowship.
On April 18, the Ruritan will host its Annual Chicken Supper. Serving will start at 5:00 p.m. in the Otwell Community Center dining room. A free will offering meal will consist of fried chicken, German fries, baked beans, cole slaw, a pickle, and bread. Tea and lemonade to drink. We're working on the possibility of a dessert area...stay tuned! Be sure and mark your calendars for this fun community event--and come eat some really good food from local cooks...the best kind!
The Ruritan officers and Board are currently in the mid-planning stages of the Grand-daddy of area events, the Annual 4th of July Weekend. Things are looking good! This year promises to bring you wonderful opportunities to make memories with friends and family while enjoying great local food and entertainment. A full schedule will be listed on the July 4 Website once it is finalized. Make your plans now for having a great time in Otwell on July 2-3-4!
The Christmas Light "Light Up the Village" campaign was a great success! The new lights for the poles have been ordered along with a wonderful new addition to the decorations that will be unveiled come the Christmas season. Thanks SO MUCH to all of the town's people and businesses for their great generosity. Otwell will be a beauty come Christmas time!
A huge THANK YOU also goes out to a great bunch of guys who are our local unsung heroes...come rain, snow, wind, you name it...when the holidays roll around, our town becomes beautifully adorned with Old Glory posted on the light poles that run through town. The dedication of these guys from the Ruritan as well as other guys from the town is very much appreciated. If you want to help out, give Roger Knight a call...the more the merrier!
As you can see, the Ruritan is busy in keeping the civic projects rolling! Would you like to be a member? See any Ruritan member for an application or drop an email to jeffersontownshipinruritan@gmail.com. You can also find us on Facebook at Jefferson Township Otwell Indiana Ruritan.
Have a wonderful weekend! And think SPRING!
