    "The town schedules seasonal events that are fun and free for families, 4th of July fireworks and Easter Egg hunts with free hotdogs or burgers. Smokin’ BBQ cookout and Sicilian Heritage Festival are fun highlights. Also locally owned restaurants and a splash park with a new pavilion clean public restrooms which are a plus for families with small kids. The town is small but there is a lot of clean safe fun to be had year around. The guy who helps you at the hardware store owns it and he lives here. It’s that kind of town. "
