The 2013 Marley Park Harvest Festival

The 2013 Marley Park Harvest Festival was a big hit! More than 600 community residents had a fantastic time enjoying tasty food, music, and fun with their neighbors. A big Thank You to everyone in attendance and to our volunteers!

Halloween events were a screamingly good time. There was a great response to the Marley Park Pawstume Parade and Pumpkin Carving events. Both were led by resident volunteers Angela Kirschner and Charlotte Confer.
