That same weekend, we had bike MS to approach the village this year and ask us to be a partner in their event, which we're super excited It brings a lot of visitors and out of towners to the village of Clemens So we will be there on Friday night September 20th welcoming the VIP tent and then on September the 21st We'll be there for the majority of the people who bike the race. I've learned a lot about bike MS. If you're interested, they have a huge community event portion of this. So you don't have to just be a biker. You can be just a part of the community to come out and help and support. And we'll begin out more information about that as well. We also have opened up applications for the Monster Dash and Goblin Hop. So those are coming in if you're part of an organization that normally participates in that. Make sure the application gets in because we do have to cap that off once we get the total amount of spots filled on the green way. And then another exciting event we had be kind coffee company to approach us. They have been doing a Harry Potter event for the past three or four years that has also grown exponentially. They did it in July last year. They had over a thousand people attend. People waited for two hours to come. They came from West Virginia, Virginia, South Carolina. So once again, another great event that's getting some out of towners in. So they've asked us to partner and to be a part of that that day. So we're looking forward to be in a part of their vendor setup and helping market that event as well. So we're looking forward to that. So if there's any events that you're interested in attending, helping out out if you just want to let Lynette myself know we can kind of stagger some of the time so we can avoid too many of you at the 10 at one time or something.
