Family Swim Night a Great Success

The turnout was great with over 150 attending the Horizons Family Swim Night. The weather couldn't have been better!!! The ice cream hit the spot.

Drawings were held for free day passes, swimming lessions, and a family season pass. Several individuals won passes who already had purchased a family pass. They generously donated their passes to someone who could use the passes. What a great evening!!! Ritzville's sense of community was at its best.

Ritzville Pool Opens

The Ritzville Water Park is open for business signaling summer at last!!

If you or someone you know cannot afford a season pass, contact the Parks and Rec Board for information on financial assistance.

Ritzville PDA partners with BBCC

The Ritzville Horizons group and Ritzville's Public Development Authority have partnered with Big Bend Community College on creating a new distance learning center for the Ritzville community. As a result of the Horizons survey, the need for such a center was identified.

The Horizons Steering Committee reached out to the PDA for assistance with the project several months ago. Working together, the project is moving forward. It is our hope that by fall of 2008, the first class will be offered.

Running Start, workforce development, and adult continuing education will be just some of the classes scheduled.

Horizons will be offering financial aid to those in need.

Stay tuned for more information.
