GRCC’s Story Van will be in the Sparta Town & Country Days parade on Saturday, July 19.  The parade begins at noon.  The van will be set up after the parade, probably about 1 p.m.  We need of volunteers to help record people who will be telling their GRCC story, or who want to wish GRCC a happy
birthday.  It is very simple — you just push a button!

There is a lot to do at Sparta Town & Country Days before or after your time at the van.

If you would like to help with this part of the GRCC 100-year anniversary celebration, contact Liz Timmer at ltimmer1@comcast.net or
