The POC Service Club was excited to host the Family Fun Day at Kingfisher Beach on Saturday, April 14, but Mother Nature did not cooperate. Blowing wind, rain and cool temperatures made it impossible to enjoy this event. So, the old-fashioned games and competitions like sack races, ring toss, washer pitch and others have been stored away and we will reschedule. We are considering the merry month of May.
Stay tuned for more information. We still want to say a great big THANK YOU to a group of people who worked so hard to make the fun day possible. Jeremy and Holly Dyes and their son Drake, Iceman for POC, were standing by with ice for picnics and sandwiches just waiting for the weather to clear. They assure me they will come back.
Big thanks to John and our local Speedy Stop for their generous donation of bottled water to the All-American Family Fun Day. It was chilled and ready to serve, and we will have it ready for store. Stop in for a quick sip or a special treat and tell them thanks for supporting our community!
Hearty Thanks to POC Hardware for lumber, supplies, equipment and assistance in preparation and game set up for the All-American Family Fun Day. Even crazy requests like hop sacks and colored coded washers were donated with a smile and their help. Teddy, Judith and crew, Thanks so much! We couldn’t do it without you!
The Calhoun County Sherriff’s K9 team was present and agreed to return when we reschedule as did the EMT department and other community volunteers. Big Thanks to them for supporting POC!
In addition, Misty Richter at POC Elementary, POC Chamber, Friends of the POC Library, Troy and Mary Wygrys, Jacque Bechard, Peggy Elliot, Susie DuBoise, MaryAnn Claiborne, David Walker, the POC Service Club Members and their families and many other generous individuals gave time, effort and hard work to make the 1st Annual POC All American Family Fun Day a big Success.
We are all looking forward to sharing those preparations with the community when we reschedule this fun event.
This proves families and our family friendly community are worth celebrating.
Look for announcements about the new date and time.
