Community Events

The following is a list of community events going on in Frankfort and all of Clinton County:

 

The Colfax Historical Society is reaching out to people who started their education at Colfax Elementary and then continued their education at Clinton Prairie Junior/Senior High School. Earlier this year, the CHS contacted graduates of Colfax High School, asking them for their support of the Colfax Historical Society. Our current focus is an outreach to Clinton Prairie students in the classes of 1962-1972. If you attended Colfax Elementary as a child and graduated from Clinton Prairie between 1962-1972, we want to hear from you!  Please email your contact information to [email protected]
