What a great day in Old Town! ☀️

The Walking Mall was packed with families enjoying everything from games, activities, and entertainment to local vendors, community organizations, face painting, and of course, the dunk tank.

A huge thank you to our presenting sponsor, RISE Orthodontic Studio, and to everyone who helped make Kidz Fest such a success. We're especially grateful to the City Council members and City staff who volunteered their time and took a turn in the dunk tank to help create a fun experience for everyone.

Seeing so many kids laughing, playing, and making memories downtown is exactly what this event is all about. Thanks for spending your Saturday with us—we're already looking forward to next year! ❤️🎉
