The event promises something for everyone, from vendor booths displaying local crafts to a bouncy house for kids to enjoy and horseshoe tournament. The McGill Swimming Pool, an emblem of community spirit, will be the backdrop for this vibrant gathering. The pool itself will host the exciting “big splash” event, bringing summer to a close with a splash of joy through an array of games tailored for children.

Sunday’s Showdown and Spectacular Finale. Sunday’s highlight will be a softball showdown between the members of the McGill fire department and the officers of the White Pine County Sheriff’s Office.
