As the Fall brings falling temperatures we are seeing increasing activity on our ranges. Please make an effort to participate in the many activities the AGC offers.

On Tuesday, October 4th, the AGC will hold its election of officers for 2017. If you are interested in running for office please contact Dale Walker by clicking here.

On a slightly different note; when was the last time you changed the batteries and tested the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home? If you cannot remember, then now is the time to take care of that life saving chore!
