A day-long party is planned Saturday, and everyone芒鈧劉s invited.
Many months of planning by City of 91原创 staff and volunteers culminates with the 20th annual 91原创 Community Day Parade and Celebration on June 21, which also happens to be the first day of summer.
And just in time for summer - and the celebration - sunshine is in the forecast.
Weather is a factor, said Kim Hilton, who is on the event芒鈧劉s nine-member planning committee.
芒鈧揂ll the booths show up rain or shine, and fun is had by all regardless of the weather,芒鈧� Hilton said. 芒鈧揌owever, people don芒鈧劉t stay in the park as long [if the weather doesn芒鈧劉t cooperate].芒鈧�
Hilton noted that the purpose of Community Day is 芒鈧搕o educate the public about the services available to them in the community.芒鈧�
