This is a FREE community event. Bring your family, friends, neighbors, lawn chairs, and picnic blankets for a fun summer evening together.

If you’d like to volunteer to run a game or activity station, please let me know! It’s a great way to get a head start on next year’s volunteer hours. I’m looking for about 10 volunteers to help make the evening a success.

We can’t wait to see you there! ☀️🌭🍉🎥🎉
