Thousands came out to Veterans Memorial Park to enjoy barbecue, live music, inflatables and more than 20 games, arts and crafts booths set up for all-ages fun.
B次元官网网址淭his is the sixth year we have put it on,B次元官网网址� said Ashley Austin, pastor at Canvas Church. B次元官网网址淭he first year there was probably a couple hundred people. last year a couple thousand. The rain has probably brought it down to 1,300 or 1,400 this year.
The main reason we do it is we just love serving our community and doing things for kids and families. ItB次元官网网址檚 just a way for us to do something fun for families on Victoria Day.B次元官网网址�
