Saturday Recap

What a Saturday at Aquafest!

Kicking off the day with AquaRun and the Firefighters Pancake Breakfast, on Saturday we enjoyed live music, the Grande Parade, busy vendors, tasty treats, the Frank McDaniel Memorial Fireworks show, and ended with another movie in the park on the great lawn!

The kids (and kids at heart) were treated a Four Square tournament on Main Street, searching for the AquaHunt treasure, building birdhouses and race cars, stamping their Kids Passport, and enjoying the park and the lake.

Special thanks to our awesome volunteers who were here all day picking up trash, controlling traffic, setting up events, and everything else behind †he scenes to keep Aquafest awesome!
