The DCA is committed to support diversity, inclusion, and equity within our association and across our community. Discrimination has no place in our community. We encourage civil engagement. We work to facilitate community discussion with local governing officials who make policies. Our job is to welcome a community of different voices where freedom speaks and equal justice is served.
Dust off your boots and join fellow Darnestownians for the 50th annual Hoedown at Smokey Glen Farm on Friday October 8th. This event is guaranteed to be a boot scootin’ blast!
