YMCA COMMUNITY FAMILY FUN PICNIC Monday, August 8th, from 5:00-7:00 pm on the YMCA grounds. It's the perfect time of year to get outside, do something active with your family and enjoy a picnic. Wear comfortable clothes (don't forget a swim suit) and plan on getting active with your children. There will be games, water play, flag football, and races going on throughout the evening. It's a great way to get up, get out and get moving with your family. This event is free and open to the community (suggested donation – bring a dessert to share).
