“This event is my favorite,” said Marnie Cooke, director of marketing and communications at Noblesville Schools. “I love seeing how much fun people have connecting with friends and taking in all the opportunities Noblesville offers. I appreciate the great support we have from community organizations to make it a success. It’s just a really great, high-energy party to kick off the new school year.”
The event was sponsored by Church, Church, Hittle and Antrim, Boy Scouts of America, and Bailey and Wood Mortgage Lenders and hosted by Noblesville Schools and Noblesville Parks and Recreation.
