WOW, what an amazing evening Saturday turned out to be! The Parks and Rec Commission extends heartfelt gratitude to our community for making our fourth Military Band/Fireworks Community Giveback event a resounding success. We owe a tremendous debt of thanks to everyone who contributed:
First, a huge thank you to the 10th Mountain Division's Band! Their extraordinary music had everyone singing and dancing all night long. We are deeply grateful for their service to our country and are so appreciative of their talent - they rocked it!
We also want to express our appreciation to American Fireworks Display, LLC for the spectacular fireworks show they provided. They do a great job and it gets better every year!
Thanks also to Brawdy Family Maple Farm for their generous donation of that fabulous red white and blue tent and seating for our soldiers to rest.
A special shout-out goes to the Constantia Volunteer Fire Department for joining us at the park for the event and for their dedication to our community.
Our gratitude extends to Missy Schortemeier and Northschorty Catering for the delicious meal provided to our soldiers, as well as to Momma's Brunch Buggy, Rick's Polar Pops, Uptown Dogz, and Sunshine's Treats & Eats for offering fantastic food to the crowd. Everything was delicious!
A heartfelt thanks to our Parks Staff for their efforts in maintaining order, and to Joann Wines, Ryan Watrous and Jenna Murray for their work in the office on Saturday, and to our lifeguards for keeping everyone safe.
We are also thankful for Bob Wines, Supervisor Ron Chapman, and Vern Zehr for their help with parking. They kept everything flowing smoothly!
Special recognition goes to Mike Whitney and the entire Highway Department for their ongoing dedication to keeping the park beautiful year-round.
Thank you to the Town of Constantia Supervisor and the Town Board for their support of the park and its programs.
And last but certainly not least, THANK YOU to our incredible community for your unwavering support and for coming out to enjoy the park with us! It was a wonderful night filled with fun, families, friends and community!
