During the Open House, the recipient of the Outstanding Cooperator Award will be announced. This year a special Appreciation Award will also be given. Creamy chicken sandwiches, chili and refreshments will be served.

Entertainment by John Reichle will once again take place from 3:30 – 5:30! If you ask John to do a gig for exposure, he’ll tell you he’s overexposed! He’s a frequent performer as a solo, duo and band guitarist and vocalist. Wineries, coffee shops, private events, and any place that spotlights live music are places you may see and hear him. He loves to play guitar, and it shows!
The evening will also feature the election of two Williams SWCD supervisors. The candidates in this year’s special election are Ed Nickolite, Ryan Ruble, Berdon ‘Bob’ Short, and Reba Wall – call the office for the nominee biographies or they can be found on the website at www.williamsswcd.org.
