Please come and join us for a discussion of our upcoming events.

If you would like to be involved in what is happening in Perry, please join us!

It is a great way to get involved in the community!

We will be discussing our upcoming fall activities including the Harvest Market, Boo Bash, Trunk or Treat. and the Holiday Market.

We will be having our HARVEST MARKET on September 30th in downtown Perry from 8am - 12pm. So far we have 24 vendors signed up to attend. We hope that all of the downtown businesses will also be open during those hours for the visitors that are downtown.

We will be having our 3rd Annual BOO BASH in the Perry Park on October 14th from 11am - 2pm. We will have a lot of fun activities for the kiddos. If you would like to volunteer that day please let us know.

Our annual TRUNK or TREAT will be held on Saturday October 28th from 5 -7pm. We encourage all businesses and members to sponsor a trunk to hand out candy to the kiddos!! We would also love it if all the downtown businesses/building owners could pass out candy from their storefronts. Please contact Rachel Gilmore if you would like to sign up. (Rachel 573-248-4794)
