Pictures from Party on the Square August 10, 2007

Community Spirit was alive as it energized Garrard County Friday night, August 10th, when we had our Party on the Square in Lancaster.

Most of the following pictures pictures were taken during set-up and at the start of the party. Though they may not show it, we had an estimated 800 people come out...

People began arriving about 6:30 p.m., even though festivities were scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

Soon it was so crowded that photographer Gary Sefcak, who uses a power chair full time, could not get around to take all of the pictures he wanted to... But, he did a great job capturing the fun we had at The Party on the Square.

To this we say, "Thank you Gary, and thanks for the memories."

Just the beginning of an estimated 800 in attendance...
