In our 2011 block party celebration, we offered the Alton-Riverbend Community with activities that included inflatable bounce houses, carnival style games, arts & crafts, face painting, music entertainment, food, soda and more to over 700 participants of all ages – all free of charge. The community was receptive and the outcome was great.
