Saturday - April 12th, 2014


After endless months of winter storms and heavy snow, today's weather was a welcomed relief to what seemed like an extra long off season.  Sunny skies and temps in the mid-70s along with a park that looked great brought out a nice size crowd to welcome in Spring and the 2014 Great Adventure season!
