Following the parade, Summerfest continued in the park behind the Woodburn Community Center. Even though the sun was scorching hot, the dunk tank was a cool place for the person in the tank. The kids where having a great time getting treats from vendors and the music was playing in the tent while the games continued on the ball field. All of this taking place is what makes Woodburn a great place to live and work!
