There will also be a large waterslide and hotdogs, soda, and water for all attendees. The best part is, according to Greg St. Hilaire, is that everything is free.
Hilaire said they wanted to have one last big bash before students have to go back to school and that the event is put on to “bless the community.”
The event will also feature booths by multiple churches and businesses and will have a helicopter from LifeNet and a fire truck from the Safford Fire Department on display.
