Families will find themselves spoiled for choice with the array of activities planned for this year’s Founders’ Day celebration. Children and adults alike can participate in spirited eating contests that always draw crowds of cheering spectators or bounce to their heart’s content on colorful inflatables spread throughout the venue. Traditional lawn games offer opportunities for friendly competition, while the always-popular pig racing events promise to deliver squeals of delight from participants and onlookers.
One of the highlights of the evening will be the Battle of the Badge relay competitions, where our local heroes from different emergency service departments compete in good-natured challenges that showcase both athletic skill and community spirit. These competitions not only provide entertainment but also allow residents to show appreciation for the men and women who serve our community daily.
