Time for a Group HUG GT.... and a THANK YOU

We loved the community/family feel of Grand Terrace Community Day and how our community was able to pull together.

The FlyBall Professional Dog Show was a blast to watch, as well as the various events up on the stage. Our kids just loved it!

Watching the volunteers work together in the Kids Zone was inspiring. The Girl Scouts from various troops, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, Hollywood Video, Xplosion Soccer Team, Possabilities group from Colton High, members of Terrace View and GT Elementary School PTA , Colton LDS Ward, The Brook Church, The Rock Church, GTHS Foundation, the Pirates from the Peter Pan Play from Terrace View and many parents/citizens from our community, all working together to make crafts and educating the public on conservation all with recycled items, and providing fun activities and games for the children to enjoy.

A big thanks to Cal Skate for being a recycling collection center, and creating all the signage and advertisement for the event. Grand Terrace City News provided newspapers for crafts at the Kids Zone, published articles in their weekly papers to advertise the event, and produced the well layed-out program for the day. It was so very much appreciated to have the city officials, especially Barrie Owens, take on the role to help facilitate the event with their leadership, input and guidance.

As you can see, from the volunteers, to the donations, to the sponsors, to the day's full list of activities, this was a true community event! We really did feel part of a team and loved being part of the event this year...

From its conception all the way through to its completion! Let's applaud our community and embrace the efforts and countless volunteer hours that brought this day to fruition! We look forward to being there next year and helping in any way we can again. ..
