Well summer is almost at an end! We have had a great summer here at the Thunderbird! The Fourth of July was a blast. The craft show was a great success and the vendors were pleased with their sales. We want to thank you for coming out and showing your support. The next craft show will be Oct. 17-18. So make plans to come and visit us.

We have been having fun a lot of fun on Music Night that features a guest singer. Be sure to check your calendars for the next one and come out and be a part of it. Show your support so we can keep this going.
