❤️ Well, Richwood… YOU DID IT! ❤️
Summerfest was seriously like something straight out of a Hallmark movie. 🥹🎬

A small town. A beautiful park. Music, laughter, food, kids running around, neighbors catching up—and an entire community coming together to support so many amazing causes.

And Richwood… YOU SHOWED UP! 🙌🏼
You showed up for the kids.
You showed up for our teams.
You showed up for our park.
You showed up for our community.
And most importantly, you showed up for each other. ❤️

From the early morning pancake breakfast to the fireworks lighting up the sky, Summerfest was filled with moments that reminded us exactly why we love this little town so much.

A HUGE thank you to every single person who helped make this event happen. Our volunteers, vendors, sponsors, bands, organizations, teams, businesses, park staff, families, and everyone who donated, worked, cooked, hauled, cleaned, planned, sponsored, participated, or simply showed up and supported us.

Whether you gave an hour, a day, a donation, bought a meal, played a game, danced, cheered, or brought your family—we are incredibly grateful. 🫶🏼

This is what community looks like.

Richwood, thank you for making Summerfest so special. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
Stay tuned for some Summerfest wrap up post with photos!
Richwood really is something special.
