🥎🔥 WHAT. A. GAME! 🔥🥎

Community Field Day brought out the competition, the laughs, and SO much support from Newington! ❤️

The Police Department came out on top with a 2–1 win over the Fire Department, but honestly… it was a GOOD one! 👏 Both teams gave it their all, and the crowd was right there cheering them on the whole way.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support, cheer, laugh, and enjoy the afternoon with us. This is what community is all about! 💚

And we couldn’t have done it without our amazing sponsors:
