The Big Stone Lake Area Chamber joined up with Fairway View Senior Communitiesto host two Easter events at Fairway View – first, the residents of Fairway View got together to make their Easter Bonnets – then there was the Easter Bonnet Parade (check out video #1). Then the Easter Bunny arrived on the Saturday before Easter – residents handed out candy and there were pictures with the Bunny (check out video #2) – Smiles and fun everywhere!
First, please take a moment and acknowledge this year’s Cornfest Sponsors. Without them, this event would not happen!
The Big Stone Lake Area Chamber would like to acknowledge the volunteers that make Cornfest happen (in no particular order) Many times we do not name the volunteers through fear of missing a name or organization – so please if you see that we’ve left out anyone, send us an e-mail or give a call to the Chamber office so that we can add them! We so appreciate everyone’s help!!
