T

he Darty (daytime party) on July 16 was a 
summertime success! With 200 people registered, 
guests enjoyed all sorts of games and treats, including 
a dunk tank, slip n’ slide, yard games, inflatables and more. 
The weather was everything we hoped and dreamed for, and 
we can’t wait to see it grow even more next year.
