The DogHaüs hot dog cart attended and the bouncy house and monster truck “were especially big hits, bringing smiles and excitement to attendees of all ages,” the release reads.

The town is grateful to Justin Campbell from State Farm Insurance and The Campbell Foundation for their “generous sponsorship.”

“Thanks to their support, we were able to create an enjoyable, memorable evening that brought the community together,” the release reads.

The Campbell Foundation is a “501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps local youth of Oxford County through scholarships, grants, volunteering, and community events.”
