The Marion Recreation Department in conjunction with the Marion Fire Fighters Association are pleased to announce the return of the Marion Block Party to be held on Saturday, August 25, with a rain date of Sunday, August 26. This event, which was last held in 2010, will take place at its original location on Spring Street in front of the Marion Town House and run throughout the day.
A cherished Marion tradition, this year’s event will feature a classic car show, rock climbing wall, bubble bounce, dunk tank, music and more. Seasonal menu items and beverages are planned. Admission is free.
Proceeds will be distributed between the Marion Fire Fighters Association and Marion Recreation Dept. and will be put back into our community. The Fire Fighters Assoc. plan to use their proceeds to purchase thermal imaging equipment for the Fire Dept. while Marion Recreation plans to purchase playground equipment for Washburn Park.
Organizers are seeking donations from the community to help underwrite the event. Food, raffle prizes, services, cash and any other in-kind donation would be greatly appreciated. All donations are tax deductible.
Please plan to attend with your friends and family to help make this community event a success.
