Families and friends joined together for Family Night in the Park on July 11. This free event was hosted at the Boardman Park and was open to anyone who wished to come.
At the event children and parents had the opportunity to play in bounce-a-rounds, get food from concessions, receive balloon animals from Jocko the Balloon Man, enjoy music from a few bands, get their faces painted and watch The Lego Movie.
Karen McCallum, recreation director of Boardman Township Park, said she appreciated the togetherness aspect of Family Night in the Park.
“The best part is the event is free and a great way to enjoy family time together,” McCallum said.
Keisha Bankston brought her grandchildren to the park for Family Night in the Park unintentionally.
“We just ran into this,” Bankston said. “We were already planning on having a picnic out here — they never had a picnic before. This is just perfect.”
Tanna Sebrell, a Family Night in the Park veteran, said she loves being back for another year to the festivities in Boardman Park — her family has been coming for years.
Sebrell said her favorite part of Family Night in the Park was the movie.
“We love the movie because it’s outside,” Sebrell said.
Sebrell’s three children and friends spent the majority of their time running to-and fro-around the park with their balloon swords, battling one another.
“The music is nice, too, the kids get to dance around and act like fools,” Sebrell said.
Family Night in the Park is sponsored by Armstrong, Texas Roadhouse, Jr. Women’s League of Boardman and Poland and various others.
