We all work hard and this is the one day we take to stop working for a while and just enjoy time with friends, family, kick a ball, swing on a swingset, and eat some good food. We are throwing it back to the original days of the party and going to the pavilion at Ryan Hummert park and will bring some major items, but the theme of the party is community, so please refer to the list below and comment with whatever you are able to bring when you RSVP:
