Back the Blue
event held at the Old Mill Park hit the mark of showing appreciation to local law enforcement. In its second year, the event is considered a community wide multi-denominational prayer and appreciation gathering dedicated to law enforcement and first responders. “Representatives from law enforcement are very grateful that people care,” shares event coordinator Pastor Dee Cairoli. “We live in a great community but it’s important that we show additional appreciation and love.” Pastor Dee and his congregation were joined by many local agencies and caring community members to plan the event which even included a helicopter flyover. “Law enforcement work hard for minimal salaries,” continues Pastor Dee. “They are dedicated and true servants, so they deserve every bit of support we can give them.” The event included 12 speakers and people lingered afterwards to enjoy the ambiance and company.
