There will also be food trucks and a beer garden from 12–5 PM along Ryan Ave hosted by the Sumner Main Street Association so you can turn your volunteer shift into a full day of fun!
Ready to join the action?
📍 Volunteer briefing: 12 PM on Saturday, April 4
📍 Location: City Hall (1104 Maple St)
Sign up by emailing lanah@sumnerwa.gov - we’d love to see you there!
