Ward Activity: Smith Park

Great activity we had on Saturday, May 16th. We were served Steak and potatoes! Thanks to Bishop Ogden and Brother Murdock for cooking those steaks. The Perkes cooked tons of potatoes at their home. Great job guys!
Bocce Ball and Kickball were played by some, but most just hung out, got to know each other and talked.
