We hope everyone had a great time at the FOP Lodge 79 Drug Free Picnic & Pool Party! ☀️🌭🍧

It was an awesome day filled with hot dogs, chips, cold drinks, and plenty of Sno Biz shaved ice while families enjoyed spending time together at the pool.

A huge thank you to the City of Parkersburg, Mayor Tom Joyce, DJ Jack Horton V96.9, Sam's Club, Wolfe Camper Sales, Westbrook Health Services, and all of our incredible volunteers who helped make this event possible. We couldn’t do it without your support!

Events like this are so important because they give us an opportunity to give back to our community, bring families together, and continue building positive relationships with the people we proudly serve. Thank you to everyone who came out. We’re already looking forward to next year!
