On Saturday, Sep. 7, the City of Hancock’s welcomes the 2nd Annual End of Summer Celebration. The celebration is a full day of fun for all ages, including a Pickleball Tournament, Cornhole Tournament, Beer Garden, and food and non-food vendors.
Todd Gast, head of the City of Hancock’s Community Development and Downtown Development authority, commented on the events to take place on Saturday. Gast explained that “the End of Summer Celebration is just what it says, it’s for celebrating our wonderful summer that we had. We had a wonderful slate of events that we’ve done all summer long with Movies on the Green and Canal Rock. A lot of the stuff the students have missed, but this is something that the students can really take part in.”
