Port of July Extravaganza
By: Mandy Huntsman
The Annual Port Streets Fourth of July Extravaganza was another huge success. The Andersen Deans 4th of July planning crew Chase Rief, Brent Leffel, Reed Glyer, and Dan Schiraldi express their deepest gratitude to everyone who participated. The spirit of unity made this event nothing short of extraordinary!
