We often don’t think of the impact school events have on tourism but 1700 guests is VERY impressive!

ERTC is a proud supporter of NCHS theater and if you’ve noticed a difference in the lighting we have been honored to help fund the purchase of these lights.

Local businesses, please treat your employees to a drink, ice cream or food that day and leave a big tip!

THE FLOWERS ON THE SQUARE ARE NOT FREE TO TAKE OR VANDALIZE!

While we should not have to address this issue we apparently do.

The flowers in the pots on the square are not free to take. That is stealing and we have had several flowers stolen this year.

We also have people vandalizing the flowers.

Please stop.

This is a volunteer project funded by donations. Please stop.
