Both will be just $1.00 each! Enjoy great food (yes, there will be sauerkraut!), music, and the outdoors during your lunch, and come in to the YMCA for a quick tour of the facility and a free dessert at Chip’s Place.
Family Fun Night
A free Family Fun Night will take place Wednesday October 1st from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Activities will include brats and root beer for $1.00 in the YMCA parking lot, DJ Mike Holiday spinning tunes, and free games for the kids. There will also be free PickleBall, family swim time, drop-in volleyball, karaoke and crafts in the Duncan Beaman Lounge and a free fitness class sampler. Try our newest fitness classes including Drums Alive, Zumba, and Boot Camp! This will be a fun night for the whole family and a great opportunity to experience what your YMCA has to offer.
