Big Ol' BDay Bash 1

It was clear to anyone who spent any time near downtown Perry Saturday night, there was a rather large event going on around La Poste. Those who got closer were able to see the commotion was caused by the “Big Ol’ Birthday Bash” celebration.

From 4-11 p.m. Saturday, the parking lot of La Poste was filled with revelers of all ages, who were helping several individuals celebrate 60th birthdays. The event featured musical performances by two different bands, starting with JD and the Swensongs and wrapping up with local favorite Rukkus. The party was a big collaboration by several entities, including the Perry Volunteer Fire Department, who provided food for attendees. The firefighters took advantage of the huge crowd to help them raise money towards their purchase of a new Jaws-of-Life. There was also alcoholic beverages provided by La Poste, picnic tables from the Perry Parks and Recreation Department, and the City closed down half of 3rd Street for the festivities.

Organizers were very happy with the turnout and felt everyone had a great time.
