Volume 3, Number 47
Good Morning. It’s Saturday, June 4, 2022
Just about every child in town seemed to be at Friday night’s PYAC Carnival — which was great to see. This important community youth organization hadn’t been able to hold the fundraiser since 2019. Our 4-year-old had a great time bouncing and playing games and our 2-year-old was a little shy at first with all of the people around but he finally loosened up (and then didn’t want to go home when it was time to leave). Nice family event put on by a dedicated group of volunteers (especially staying late to tear everything down).
Thanks for reading!
