No Back-To-School Blues Here

It doesn't get much better than a little girl's kiss to her daddy, even if it's in the middle of a thousand people celebrating a community event!

For some attendees, the annual Back To School Party in marks several years of a tradition of attending as part of ushering in a new school year. For others, such as Denny Marschuetz and his grandson, Charlie, it was their first time to join the fun.

Wildwood residents Angie Kimmel, and her 5-year-old son, Waylon, and her 2-year-old daughter, Lyla, said she didn't know about the party until about an hour before it started, but they were happy to be a part of it.

A few more first-timers had just moved here from Connecticut:  Kevin and Casie Liddy. Now as Wildwood residents, Kevin said he thought the event was "awesome and a wonderful idea."

In addition to children's activities, vendors, firefighters' visits, free snow cones, free kettle corn, bike helmet fitting, facepainting and a free Toy Story 3 movie, the crowd also got to enjoy the band Fanfare.
