On October 17th SRA coordinated an event to celebrate our community. All neighbors were invited to the Riceville Community Center for an afternoon of fun. There were exhibits of historical artifacts, demonstrations from local crafts-people, a community conversation about Riceville, music and dancing and lots of door prizes.

Last year our fall event focused on the heritage of Riceville. This year we wanted to continue to tell the story of Riceville by inviting residents to share in a conversation concerning what we value about Riceville and what we dream of for the future.
