This day is set aside each year to celebrate the good fortune of living in beautiful Durham Valley. It is a time to catch up with old friends and neighbors and get to know the newcomers. This is a day to celebrate a community, but, that can only be accomplished if the community shows up to celebrate. So make plans to head to Durham, bring along a lawn chair, a picnic blanket, the kids and your appetite, its going to be a great day.
CCWA will not attend this year.
