Thank you to our talented artists, vendors, donors, volunteers, and everyone who braved the rain and threat of storms with us. We loved seeing the excitement on your little ones’ faces as they stomped through puddles, watching folks splash in the creek, and each of you who danced in the rain. A little storm couldn’t stop us from having a good time and making unforgettable memories together!

We would love to give each of you a big ol’ Baptist hug and thank you personally, but for now, this post will have to do! Please know how much we appreciate you. We truly couldn’t have made this event happen without your support! ❤️
