On Sept. 25, Kankakee Valley REMC will host its largest event, the Member Appreciation Day and annual business meeting, at the Porter County Fairgrounds in Valparaiso. This event is filled with family fun, good food, entertainment, and a chance to win some great prizes.
Were excited to bring back some favorites, along with a few new surprises! The LaCrosse Lions Club will grill their famous pork chops and hot dogs, while John Andys Caf Deli from Kouts will serve delicious sides to complete your dinner. Save room for dessert because Desserts by Juliette and Piggies Cream will have some great treats for you to enjoy.
This is a true family event, so bring the kids and grandkids. There will be plenty to keep them entertained! Theres something for everyone, from face painting and balloon twists to a live juggling act and a fun, kid-friendly game show where they can be the stars. Were also bringing back two favorites: the cornhole tournament and bingo. Live music will be performed by local talents Ashlyn, performing at 5 p. m., and Nate Venturelli at 6 p. m. Check out the full schedule of events on page 8.
In addition to all the exciting activities, well also hold a brief business meeting. During this time, your co-op leaders will share updates on the cooperative, recognize the accomplishments of the 2024-2025 Junior Board of Directors, announce the board election results, and draw for prize winners.
Dont forget to bring the registration card from the back of this magazine; its your entry for the prize drawings.
If you happen to leave it behind, no worries; well have extras available at the event.
