I am excited for our Fourth Annual Aaron’s Race Event and Family Fun Day on Saturday, June 14th on the Belchertown Common. This event is in memory of my son Aaron and all proceeds go towards teen suicide prevention and education.

There is still time to sign up and make your pinewood derby car, or you can borrow one that morning. The derby will be held in the Old Town Hall rain or shine! Can’t make it to the races, you can swing by for some fun events outside. We will have the Ice Cream Emergency Truck from 11-1. Also, the Lion’s club will be providing food for purchase.

Children and adults can enjoy free popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cones! Along with Henna tattoos, balloon animals, face painting, a comedy magic show, touch a truck from our local fire department, decorate car cookies, play games, and much more!

Our raffle is growing by the minute! Swing by for chances to win many amazing baskets and prizes for a needed cause. You do not need to be present at 2pm when I begin calling the winners!

Want to volunteer during the event, or make a raffle donation, or do a sponsorship for your business? Please send me an email.

We can’t wait to see everyone on Saturday, June 14th!
