Parks & Recreation Bowling Luau Was a Hit!
|
The highly anticipated season end banquet for the Parks and Recreation Bowling Buddies and Bowling Buddies Jr. Group was held at Sunrise Park on Wednesday, May 15. The Pavilion was transformed into a “Tiki Hut” with our beach themed BBQ and Party. The sun was finally breaking through the clouds and smiles were abundant for our annual awards celebration and party. Everyone sang and danced the evening away as our dedicated volunteer-DJ Kevin Landolina kept the great music playing. Sunrise Park is a true gem for Suffield, and it makes a fantastic location for large parties and reunions.
