Fall Festival
|
|
A good time was had by all at the Trinity Fall Festival. Kids bounced, adults and kids played tennis, bags were tossed, carnival games were played, and a whole lot of popcorn was eaten in TWO hours!
A special shout-out to all the volunteers who made this happen, impossible to pull this off without you. Thanks so much.
