DARE FEST CANCELED DUE TO RAIN!!

Unfortunately, we have come to a difficult decision and have decided to cancel DARE FEST scheduled for tomorrow August 1st. Due to the current forecast and timing of the rain, it would be best to cancel. We will be rescheduling this event for hopefully late September or early October. We will be posting updates as soon as we confirm a future date. We want to thank all of our community partners who have worked hard putting this event together and we apologize to the kids who were really looking forward to it!
