Brand new pants and heavy duty sweatshirts and hoodies, were on one table, another table had piles of clothes, for men and women.
Last Days Motorcycle Ministry showed up and gave information about prayer rides and prayer events they have, While the event kicked off about 11:00 AM, it gave folks a chance to get situated. At high noon, there was a presentation of colors, and a salute to the American Flag. A K-9 demonstration was held by Officer Kieth Bertram and his partner Drago., from Bristol Twp. Police. Children could get pony rides, or get their faces painted.
