This summer was one for the books! The Sizzlin’ Summer Series had an outstanding turnout of over 1,900 participants; our highest number ever! The Sizzlin’ Summer series, co-sponsored by Healthy Yancey, the Town of Burnsville, and Yancey County Government, was a chance for people of all ages and abilities to try new things, connect with community neighbors, and get active!
This year’s series was filled with fun, free activities to engage families across Yancey and neighboring counties. Activities included a rock climbing tower, theater games, square dancing, a play, bounce houses, community clinic, family yard games, an interactive story trail, bike obstacle courses, playground games, painting, and an inflatable waterslide. In addition to the fun-filled activities, the AMY Bookmobile made several appearances.
A special thank you goes out to all of the organizations that hosted an event throughout the summer!
