Summerfest 2017 was a huge success!

Young and old alike came out to enjoy

a day filled with fun at Summerfest
2017. The day was packed with new
excitement along with a tradition of
classic cars, craft vendors, an assort-
ment of health and information booths,
not to mention a variety of food and
treats to please each and every palette,
and to add to that, a new venue, “Dog
Daze” featuring a dog frisbee show that
drew large crowds throughout the day!
A splash park to cool off as music filled
the air! The day was wrapped up with
an exciting Laser Light Show.
With the temperatures being a bit cool-
er than in past years, everyone agreed
that it was an exciting day to wrap up
summertime!
