Administrative Assistant Brooklyn Serda says there are plenty of reasons for the community to celebrate.
“We think it's important for all the families and surrounding community to get together and celebrate all of the town's accomplishments and everything and see how well that we're thriving together and just a fun little thing to celebrate. The end of the school year and the summer starting.”
With plenty of diversity within the community, Serda explains that it’s important to get everyone involved with the celebration.
“It really gets together like the whole community, all the different sports activities and groups and all the different businesses in town as well.”
Some changes have already been made with rain in the forecast including moving the children's entertainment inside of the arena. Serda says for updated information citizens can contact the Town Office or check the Town of Lanigan’s Facebook page.
