Town
& Country Day
This committee is one of our longest running committees. Town & Country Day is to thank the community and to
remember
the River Falls agricultural background. This committee works hard to promote agriculture by getting sponsors to
pay for the event.
By doing so, the
entire River Falls Community is invited to have breakfast (pancakes, sausage,
cherries jubilee, and milk) all for FREE! Town & Country Day is always during the “Dairy Month” of June and
always the closest Thursday to the first day of summer.
This is an all day event with entertainment, more food, and a ton of fun!
Meet:
March - June
