This event was with our Clay County volunteers and Spencer campus students.
If you are interested in being part of this type of event, contact me or any one of our RSVP coordinators at Iowa Lakes.

It was very fun, exciting, and will become a regular part of our community events in Spencer and possibly on other campuses if there is interest!
