MLK Park was the location, and community fun and fellowship were the reasons for the Annual celebration for kids. 

The special event was complete with the usual good stuff to make a Summer Bash function rock, featuring inflatable jump and bounce games, music featuring DJ Styles, live entertainment, dancing, arts & crafts, raffles, and free food.

Local dignitaries were also in the mix at the big Summer Bash, showing their support for the community’s youth.

“This celebration was about honoring our youth, uplifting families and creating a safe, joy-filled space,” shared organizer Sherrell Kinsler of Cherish Moments Non-Profit Organization.  “We wanted to create a place where laughter and love take center stage.”

From 10 am till 4 pm, the park was the place to appreciate some fun under the sun, enjoy the company of old friends, and meet some new ones, put together by the hard-working folks of Cherish Moments. 

“This is a day for the community to come together and also remind the kids they are seen, valued, and deeply cherished,” emphasized Kimberly Foster of Elegant Divas.
