Even late June’s sizzling afternoon temperatures and sporadic thunderstorms didn’t deter locals from gathering for fun, food and festivities. Area residents arrived in droves Saturday to enjoy the fourth annual Family Fun Day, hosted by the Mike Peterson Foundation at Skinner Field.
Hundreds showed up for the event, which featured family friendly activities such as face painting, inflatables, a rock climbing wall, kickball and numerous other games. Dinner was also provided free of charge.
Peterson created the Mike Peterson Foundation as a means of giving back to his hometown of Alachua and nearby Gainesville, along with his NFL cities of Jacksonville and Atlanta. The foundation’s mission is to support families in need in the community and to stimulate the positive development of youth through education, recreation and life skills programs.
