On Sunday, September 16, Arkona experienced a day to remember as over 50 families gathered for the Grand Opening of the Splash Pad. The event was a resounding success, with over 150 hands getting wet and forever becoming a part of Arkona's new splash pad.

The day kicked off with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the official opening of the splash pad. Excitement filled the air as children and adults alike eagerly awaited their turn to experience the fun and refreshing water features.

After the ribbon cutting, the festivities continued at Darren and Maryellen's for the 3rd Annual Family Fish Fry. The event was a hit, with kids enjoying bouncing in the inflatable pirate ship, playing games, and getting their faces painted. Meanwhile, the chefs of the day cooked up a storm, preparing 100lbs of fish and 30lbs of home-cooked potato chips.

The success of the day was a testament to the strong sense of community in Arkona. The Kaeden Brown Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to each and every participant, as their support and enthusiasm made the event truly special. Once again, the community has shown that it is the best, and the future of Arkona is bright with such a strong and supportive community behind it.
