Celebrating the Life of Suzi
We have lost someone who truly embodied the spirit of a volunteer.

Suzi gave her time, her talents, and her heart to so many organizations throughout our community. In Fiddlers Grove she was always ready to help, no matter what was needed—from serving as a tour guide to helping with inventory at the Model Train Museum, covering for us at Town Hall, or even stepping in as the Clerk at our General Store.

Suzi especially enjoyed our annual fundraiser, Ghost in the Grove. She mastered the story at the cemetery, complete with the ringing of the bell, and brought that special touch that made the experience memorable for everyone.

Her willingness to serve, her dedication to our community, and her friendship will be deeply missed. We are grateful for all the time, laughter, and memories she shared with us.

Please join us on Sunday, August 30, 2026, as we celebrate Suzi’s life, honor her many contributions, and say goodbye to our dear friend.

We will miss you, Suzi, and we will always remember you.

Discover Farm Life with Pat Ryan

During the Fair, be sure to stop by and visit Pat as he sells his homemade PicTN Soap bars, crafted with milk from his very own goats. You can also purchase these unique soaps in the General Store.

And while you're there, don't miss the chance to meet a couple of Pat's prize goats! It's a fun, hands-on way to learn more about farm life, goats, and the traditions that make Fiddlers Grove special.
