Special to The Highlander Friends at the Highland Lakes YMCA threw an end-of-summer bash which attracted families from throughout the area.

The well-attended event July 25 included a pool party and splash pad access with other activities which motivated attendees to play hard for quite the workout.

The party was the last opportunity for YMCAmembers and the public at-large to participate in free group water activities at the facility as well as good-natured sports competition.

Organizers served free hotdogs, popcorn and snow cones for the young party-goers.

Youngsters of all ages also tried their hands (and feet) on a manmade rock wall which tested their agility.

The Burnet Chamber

Bash of Commerce co-sponsored the event.
