Organizers promise live music, a dunk tank, petting zoo, foam pit, and a softball showdown between police, firefighters, and faith leaders. The free event celebrates recovery and invites the whole community to show support, with proceeds benefiting local recovery resources.

A quick-thinking rescue near Unionville last week after a Jeep Wrangler plunged into the water just off Vassar Road. Crews were called Wednesday morning and found the vehicle roughly 100 yards offshore, submerged in 3 to 4 feet of water with the driver still trapped inside. Firefighters suited up and launched a rapid deployment craft, pulling the driver to safety. The driver is alive and well, now recovering after crews wrapped up the scene with help from local sheriff’s deputies, ambulance crews and a towing company.
