We are still looking for a trailer for a permanent home for the Queen float. It needs to be an old style hay-trailer type. Keep an eye out, ask of farmers and rancher friends. It’d be good if someone could donate one to us.

The Independence Day Blast event is CASA’s annual fundraiser in support of our mission to help abused and neglected children. We are asking the local churches to assist us by requesting two or three volunteers from your church to help with the activities. Contact:
