The Merrill community is invited to join the Merrill Area United Way (MAUW) for a fun-filled family-oriented Community Celebration on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Agra Pavilion, 100 S. Park St. in Merrill.
At 10:00 a.m. Mayor Steve Hass will kick off the celebration with a Mayoral Proclamation, and then families are invited to walk the River Bend Trail to receive a participation token. A juggling show featuring John Kilgust, live musical entertainment by Paul & Matt Waid and also Carl Jackson, story time, yard games, a bouncy house, face painting, Zendor the Comic Magician, free cookies and lemonade, and official Green Bay Packer door prizes will all be packed into four hours of fun for the whole family. In addition, there will be agency displays for guests to peruse, WJMT Bluejay Radio will be doing a live broadcast, and food will be available on the grounds from Amazin’ Blazin’ BBQ and a hot dog stand.
It’s a day guaranteed to be a lot of fun for the families that attend, and after 75 years of serving the Merrill community, such an exciting celebration is warranted.
