Arbon Valley – The Best Place on Earth
Arbon Valley – The Best Place on Earth Arbon Valley has gone through changes over the past 100 years just like any town has.  However, if you see an old photo of your great-grandpa standing on a street with his field behind him, chances are you could pick out that spot and it would look exactly the same today.  This town is full of rich history as well as kind and honest people.
“Have you ever been down to Arbon Valley ? I spend a lot of time there in my mind. And if God doesn’t live in Arbon Valley, I’ll bet that’s where he spends most of his time.”

Can You Believe It? Steve is Going To Retire!!!

After almost 47 years as being Arbon’s Power County Highway District foreman, Steve is going to retire.  He has helped put out fires, made and improved roads, helped during floods, assisted in any emergency, helped with mechanical problems, and has given some great advice. This list could go on forever.  What we’ll most remember is his willingness to plow our roads, morning and night during the snowy season. He would leave the comfort of his home after he has called it a day to help those of us who thought they were bigger than a blizzard, and skipped family parties and events to make sure others could make it to theirs.  He has spent most of his life serving the public, with the ever attentive help and patience of his wife CaroLynne.

Come say thanks and good luck!
