Club and Youth Groups

Late Bloomers

The Late Bloomers, Colfax's new gardening club, continues its renovation projects in Codger Park. Next on the agenda is a repaint of the sign at the back of the park. The group has obtained a bench that will soon be installed and is planning to construct a pergola. The group is seeking help to fund these projects. Please contact Cherry Alice Van Tine at 397-2745 with donations or offers to help.
