As we gear up for the 29th Annual Heritage Week Celebration from February 17-22, 2025, we’re thrilled to announce this year’s theme: “Pastimes in Past Times.” This theme takes us on a journey through past leisure activities, exploring how they’ve shaped the vibrant culture we enjoy today.

One of the highlights of Heritage Week is our fifth annual online auction, running from February 17 at 9:00 AM to February 22 at 3:00 PM. This extended format maximizes visibility for your business while supporting a cause that strengthens our community. Our auction reaches a wide audience through promotions on our website and social media channels, making it an excellent opportunity to showcase your brand.

Our incredible volunteers will soon be out in the community, visiting businesses and individuals like you to discuss how you can get involved. This email is your friendly heads-up to expect a visit! We hope you’ll take a moment to connect with them and hear more about this exciting initiative.
