SPECIAL ADDITION JULY 2026
NEWSLETTER ISSUE 5
PARTY IN THE PARK
The 2026 Party in the Park was a mix of old and new as we carried on our time-honored traditional events and mixed them with new Happy Birthday America events.
Mother Nature was on our side providing a beautiful Friday evening and Saturday for us. She did, however, decide to display her fury for a short time on Sunday, but festival attendees prevailed and the show went on.
This event is made possible by the many individuals who generously give their time and effort. We extend our sincere thanks to all who assisted. Additional volunteers are always welcome.
If you are interested in serving on the planning committee, please contact a committee member.
FRIDAY JUNE 12TH
In addition to our traditional baseball and softball games, we held our first ever Evergreen High School All-Class Reunion, which was a huge success. Mark your calendars alumni for 2027 as this event will be a permanent part of our Friday night festivities. The crowd enjoyed the sounds of Sweet Tea throughout the evening and a spectacular Happy Birthday America Drone show.
SATURDAY JUNE 13TH
Our day began with a Happy Birthday America Parade which included over 60 entries from our community and the surrounding area. We thank everyone who participated in making this a fabulous addition to our event.
The fun continued at the park with our Classic Car Cruise In, beach volleyball tournament, famous BBQ chicken dinners, baseball and softball games, kids fun, a euchre tournament and plenty of food and concessions. The popular Skittle Bots rounded out the evening and had the crowd on their feet and dancing the night away.
SUNDAY JUNE 14TH
The Village held their Memorial Dedication Ceremony in which names were dedicated to the memorial wall and two new names inducted into wall of fame. Congratulations to Cheryl Geer and John (6) Linehan!
The Evergreen Youth Association held a whiffle ball and kickball tournament once the rain cleared!
