It was a beautiful evening for a get-together with friends and family at the Slayton swimming pool. The smell of the hamburgers being grilled by the Cattlemen was more than enticing, the burgers were delicious; the generous burger between the butter coated and grilled buns made for a meal fit for royalty. Add to that chips and an ice cream treat and noone went away hungry.
The people who put the event on were delighted with the results; the smiles on the faces of all who came through the food line and the delightful shrieks that came from the swimming pool where all ages gathered to play in the water made this a ‘feel good’ night.
Planned to be the kick-off for what is hoped to be a continuation through the year of community events that will bring people together, it was obvious to those behind the scenes that this looks like something our communities want and maybe need. Families, moms and dads with children, grandmothers and grandfathers, singles, were enjoying the camaraderie of just being out amid friends and family. There were 300 hamburgers grilled and handed out! Thank you goes to Saints Ann, Columba and Mary for hosting this event.
