On a sunny, windy day in Trenton's historic Mill Hill Park, Trenton Meeting joined a vast array of tables, booths and vendors at the annual Juneteenth Festival. We had a wonderful time and a wonderful response.

Our successful combining of children's activities with our connection to groups and families continued.
