Well, we hoped the rain would pass but we can’t take a chance with safety this evening and with that being the most important consideration, this year’s WHAM! Ride is CANCELED. This is the first time it has ever been canceled and it wasn’t an easy decision-see everyone next year!

Make sure to get some deep fried Oreos (or another tasty treat) at the fest tonight! #FOTL2023
