User submitted facts and corrections:
  • Don't let the small town veneer fool you. Under the surface dwells an intense little town, complete with political wrangling, a growing holistic health community, and a desire to burst forth into new growth. Oh, there are nay sayers, but they are a dying breed. Cooperation and good will is on the upsurge. Just watch us dig down, take responsibility and push onward with economic, social and political progress.
