Way to go Paityn!!! Sign that girl up for baseball!!! Auntie loves you!!! :)
I was slightly disappointed in the Summer Fest. I brought my children to enjoy what I thought would be an eventful outing. What we found were just too many vendors and not nearly enough activities. I would have liked to have had seen more things going on geared towards actual events such as what is done during Front Streets Pumpkin Festival. I hope that maybe next year they can get together some great family activities.
