It wil be held today and tomorrow at Heise Park.

“Everything is coming together great,” committee member Sarah Capretta said.We have had such an interest in all of the activities and the weather is looking beautiful for the weekend. I am excited to see everyone down there and look forward to a huge success for all the groups that are joining us to fundraise.”
