Also, our Family Fun Night Hoe-Down was last month, and we had a blast! Over 1,000 attendees learned about community resources, watched viral horse racing, participated in barrel racing, got their faces painted, and got to feed livestock! If you couldn't make it this year, we hope to see you at our next Family Fun Night in January.
