Our Title Sponsor
A big thanks to our Title Sponsor, Collins Community Credit Union, for helping us put on this event!! Their tent was super popular! From their fun Plinko game to their amazing prizes, fun guessing game activities, and great swag, everything made kids want to go back again and again! Olli the Owl was also a hit and several of our team members’ kids couldn’t stop talking about wanting to go back to see Olli!
Our Co-Host
We loved hosting this event with Trinity Lutheran School again this year! Their staff is so friendly and accommodating and it was wonderful to have the gym to warm up in with activities when the kids got cold from being outdoors with the trucks! Their superhero mask and finger puppet activities were so fun and kids loved their fun prizes!
