Outdoor Prince and Princess Tea a success
by Maralyn Fink
On Saturday I attended the Prince and Princess tea held at the park. It was oh, so cute with all of the little princesses there. This was held on Saturday and Sunday on a warm day.
Congratulations Michelle Lundquist and girls of the St. Johns High School Dance Team for the spectacular show. Thanks also to the volunteers who helped in any way, and of course thanks to the parents of the girls.
A Job Well Done!
