JUDY DAVIS MEMORIAL: POTLUCK AT THE PARK: Sat. June 27th at 4pm






Saturday is going to be a beautiful day! Please join us for a picnic to celebrate the new bouncers that were installed thanks to donations from the friends and family of Judy Davis (mother of Katy Cox and grandmother of Judine, Tots Park kid). We will lay a stone in Judy's memory in our new little garden in the southwest corner of the park. Special thanks to expert gardener Kory Riesterer for designing the plantings and working hard through all this rain to get the garden ready.
Special thanks also go out to Dan Marks and Keri Powell for spearheading the effort to raise the money for the bouncers in honor of Judy Davis.
See you at the park on Saturday!
