VARIETY SHOW
SoNo PARK HOLIDAY FEST AND CHILIPALOOZA
The 2011 SoNo Park Holiday Fest was even bigger than the year before. Thanks to our wonderful North Park and South Park communities and restaurants for your attendance and participation in the SoNo Park Holiday Fest! We sold close over 1,000 ceramic bowls and went through countless crockpots of chili. Most importantly, our friends, neighbors and businesses all had a good time while supporting McKinley’s arts and music programs. We raised over $16,500 for McKinley!
