So Much Happening!

Can you feel the excitement in the air? So many local events are coming up in the next few weeks, and we at the Chamber would like to share them with you.

Live Oak Art Center has several exhibits and contests in the works; Habitat for Humanity invites everyone out to their first annual Community Connections Day, take the kids on a short road trip to Kids Cows & More in Schulenburg for their 2023 Farm Animal Baby Shower, and do not forget the National Day of Prayer hosted by Columbus Christian Women’s Organization on Thursday, May 4 at noon. So, let’s show up in force to stand together in prayer for our community, nation, and world.
