The York Center Park District is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and in honor of the occasion, the district held a family fun fest at Knolls Community Park on Friday, Sept. 17. One of the participants, BJ Macias of Acrodazzle Entertainment—shown here with Chloe, age 6—made balloon figures for the children. Park District Executive Director Scott Nadeau said the fun fest was at least two years in the making.
