Boo in the Boro exceeded our expectations! 🎃 Our day started at 8 AM with a ball tournament at JBP and ended with an evening full of Halloween fun!

THANK YOU to all of our staff, local businesses, and volunteers! We couldn’t have done it without you! ❤️

Thank you also to everyone who shared suggestions months ago when we announced the event. If you came, you probably noticed we brought many of those ideas to life!

We’ll gather and share pictures soon, but since our program minds never stop… let’s talk Christmas in the Park! 🎄😍
