  1. Always a great time.. I always think the kids should sing longer… and I really miss the fire barrels we use to have. it was a great time to stand around and strike up a conversation with our neighbors… Thanks to the City for providing such a great town event. I have lived her for 26 years. I took my children and now my grandchildren. Certainly a part of our families memories
