As of July 20, 2008
Pottery Piece for 2008 RHS is featuring the Rapidan Creamery on a Butter Churn. Call Lynn Lachmiller at 507-278-3535 to reserve your numbered piece. Redwing pottery piece will be available sometime during summer of 2008. There are still some of the 2007 RHS Redwing piece available featuring the Rapidan High School on a Redwing 9” pie plate.
A limited number of the 2006 Redwing crocks with lid featuring the Rapidan Depot and the 2005 Redwing Bank Jug featuring the Rapidan Farmers State Bank are available for sale. RHS has received a request for a 2004 Sesquicentennial Redwing crock. If you would be interested in trading your 2004 crock for a 2007 pie plate, please call Lynn at above number.
Now that the depot main floor restoration has been completed, it would be nice having the depot open on Sunday afternoons from Memorial Day to Labor Day. However, for this to happen we need volunteers to step forward to fill these shifts at the depot. It is a great way to meet people and talk about Rapidan! Call Jane Tarjeson if you are able to staff the depot for a day (or more).
Aluminum Cans collection on Memorial Day. A trailer will be parked by the depot for recycling your aluminum cans. Proceeds will be used to fund community events.
RHS is participating in Kwik Trip’s Milk Moola program. The special Milk Moola caps and bag tops may be dropped off at the Rapidan Depot in the plastic container on the Depot steps. All proceeds from this fundraiser will be used for the restoration of the Rapidan Depot.
RHS Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 P.M.(Winter months) and 7:30 P.M.(Summer months). Please note time change for summer months.
