WASHBURN NEWS
By Beth Boddy
The August Fest committee currently consists of about four members. As a result, the events are going to have to be scaled back due to a lack of volunteers and commitment to the event.
The Alumni Banquet will still be on Friday, and there will probably be a parade and fireworks. Beyond that, the committee is still looking at what they can handle. While there is a template of events, money has to be raised and volunteers are needed to keep things going.
Anyone interested in helping out or joining the committee is encouraged to come to the next meeting, which will be March 2 at 7 p.m. at the Washburn Recreation Center. See the Washburn August Festival Facebook page for more information.
Birthdays
Those celebrating a birthday between March 9 and 15 include: Kevin Cunningham, Morgan Berube, David Wilson, Tamria Maynard, Aaron Bragg, Ardis Libby, Nicholas Bragg, Olivia Doody, Starla Enman, Rodney Chavez Jr. and Athil Clayton Jr.
