Long post:
WOW!! What an incredible evening! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
The rain may have kept some people away, but it certainly didn't dampen the fun! Some waited it out in their cars, some left and came back after the showers passed and many stuck it out with us. Once the skies cleared, the crowd rolled in and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate with us.
Events like this don't just happen. They require countless hours of planning, hard work, amazing vendors, dedicated volunteers and so many helping hands behind the scenes. We truly couldn't have done it without each and every one of you.

Seeing our community come together to enjoy great music, delicious food, fellowship and an amazing fireworks show made all the hard work worthwhile.
We hope everyone made wonderful memories! God bless the USA!!
