A wonderful evening in Lancaster...

Friday, June 18th, was a wonderful evening in Lancaster. Hundreds and hundreds of families and friends of Garrard County, estimated at well over 1,000 and up to 2,000, gathered for the biggest Party on the Square to date.

Watching families enjoying time together, hearing kids say, “I don’t want to go home,” seeing the smiles on the faces of both the co-hosts working the booths and party guests was something to behold.

Thank you to all of our 62 co-hosts, most of which included many members, and the many separate individuals who worked together to make this event possible. (Co-hosts are listed on this blog.)

Space does not allow us to list everyone by name but we would like to mention Farmers National Bank, Solid Waste Management, T.E.A.C.H., and Melvin and Linda Price and thank them for their foundational support on which others have built. We would also like to thank Ag Credit for coming to us and wanting to be a part of Party on the Square and for bringing us WoodSongs Festival Stage.

And, we would like to thank everyone who actively participated in our Fourth Annual Garrard County Anti-Litter/Beautification Campaign and to congratulate to Louise Dunham, Mark Hurte, Linda Wardlow, Mary Harris and Michelle Jones for winning the drawing-gifts at Party on the Square.
