The McFall Picnic was a great success. We had lots of people come and visit and partake in the activities.
There was a nice amount of money raised to upgrade our park and ball field. But more importantly, it was great to have neighbors, friends and families coming together and enjoying themselves. It was such a delight to see children on the ball field spontaneously playing kickball and hitting a softball around. It’s amazing what kids can do when their faces aren’t glued to a smart phone!
We are so pleased to raise awareness of our little town. Our goal is to bring back activities from our past to create meaningful memories for our children and their children. Without these small town events, it may not be long before those memories would be completely forgotten. Please spread the word about McFall events so we keep creating the memories!
