Hi Clarksburg,
I would just like to thank everyone that came out to support First Friday. It seemed that all that wondered off the "beaten path" and came a block over to Washington Avenue to the PWA had a great time. The entertainment at the Uptown Event Center/PWA was superb ....great sound...great people..The Fridley Brothers...they were awesome. If you missed the activities at First Friday you certainly missed a lot. The Library was there giving away book bags and school supplies. Thank you, what a blessing to watch the faces of the kids pick their book bags out. ❤️ and thank you to all that helped the PWA concession be a success. Again, thank you to one and all for supporting First Friday and the PWA !!
