Dante held their first annual Dante area BBQ this past Sunday, July 18. It was a great turnout that brought lots of people young and old, new residents and long-time residents to come together and have a great time. We enjoyed lots of stories, laughter, games, and of course a ton of food and drinks. Everyone enjoyed playing games, including spoon egg race, potato sack race, hula hoop, kickball, tug-a-war, bean bags, spike ball, and of course water balloons.
