The PBA also thanks everyone who donated to the Cooler of Cheer. We could not raise the funds we do without all of these wonderful businesses and also those who purchase the tickets and attend the event. Everyone had fun dancing to music by Guys in Thin Ties and posing for pictures at the photo wall with the available props. The costumes were amazing, and for some attendees, you had to take a double glance to realize who they were.

Remember to shop local and support the businesses that sponsor our schools, churches and sports teams.

We are revamping our Shop Local program and are planning a Shop Local festival in June for all of our PBA members. Watch our website for further details.
