Celebrate At Toby's
The a Western Weekend organizing commitee has met periodically over the past few months to better organize and coordinate the Western Weekend events. While the parade on Sunday is what people come from near and far to see, the events on Saturday can serve as the annual community day. Toby's Feed Barn is the center for the Saturday events with a program that can appeal to old and young alike.
