Hundreds turn out for Thanksgiving at the park

For Our City and the City of Maricopa again took the lead in the Community Thanksgiving Dinner Thursday at Copper Sky Regional Park.

Around 400 people were involved, whether dining or volunteering, from firefighters dishing up dinner and taking children on a tour of a fire truck, to musical entertainment and the creation of lots of tasty dishes. Everyone who signed up ate for free.

For Our City is a collection of local organizations, churches and businesses that chipped in food, time, funds and talents to create a community bonding experience.

The City of Maricopa next will host the inaugural Merry Copa Holiday Festival Dec.6, 3-7 p.m. at Copper Sky. The event will include the lighting of a Christmas tree, an artificial ice rink and snow zone, performers, cookies and hot chocolate and, of course, Santa. Click here to register.
