The next Pea Ridge community gathering will take place on Thursday, April 13, at 7 p.m. in the community center.   

Area residents and interested persons are invited to attend and bring finger foods and beverage to share. Ice and paper ware will be provided. The center is located at 207 Big Level Road, 3-1/2 miles east of Mill Spring, just off Highway 108.

New Pea Ridge residents, Janet and Owen Strutzman, will show and provide food samples of their former hometown in Indiana. They are enjoying getting to know their neighbors here and learning our way of cooking and dining.

Reminders: You may bring your recyclables to the center any time all day Thursday, April 13 as the Polk County recycling containers will be located inside the tennis court fence for your drop-off. The truck will pick up later that day or early on Friday, April 14. 

If you have questions, call Daryl Hardin at 828-894-8376.
