The Playin’ in the Park event will start with a community worship service at 10 a.m. in the park. The afternoon music entertainment will be provided at 1 p.m. by Wise Guys. The full-menu food stand and beer service will be available all day. The menu includes pulled pork nachos or sandwich, ribeye sandwich, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, appetizers and ice cream treats.

La Moille Park at 206 Gurney St. was established in 2012. A group of local volunteers and the village of La Moille continue to develop the park. The proceeds of this event will be used to build a basketball/sports court at the park for community use. To volunteer or donate, message La Moille Park on Facebook.
