🤸A big shoutout to our amazing indoor vendors who brought energy, knowledge, and fun to the event!

From the local Scouts and educational booths to the welcoming rep from Hilton Garden Inn, there was something for everyone. Guests enjoyed delicious treats (Auntie Rose & Eat Delicious Strawberries), creative activities for the kids, and plenty of opportunities to learn, connect, and explore. Thank you to everyone who helped make the indoor experience just as vibrant as the festivities outside!
