The next Pea Ridge community gathering will take place on Thursday, June 8, at 7 p.m. in the community center.   

Area residents and interested persons are cordially invited to attend and bring a churn of homemade ice cream.  If you are unable to supply ice cream, please bring toppings or fruits, desserts and beverage.  Paperware will be furnished.  The center is located at 207 Big Level Road, 3-1/2 miles east of Mill Spring, just off Highway 108.

The evening’s speaker will be Patrick McLendon, Executive Director of Growing Rural Opportunities (GRO) a non-profit dedicated to assisting farmers in Polk County.

Reminders:  You may bring your recyclables to the center any time all day Thursday, June 8 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, June 9.
