Libby Solberg added to the night by playing music for those who attended on the new baby grand piano, something that Fallon Medical Complex was able to acquire through donations from Fallon Medical Complex Employees as well as the Knights of Columbus. “I think it went well,” noted Karol Zachmann of the Friends of FMC Foundation “We do it to remember our loved ones and its more for that than it is for fundraising.”

owner of Russell’s Clothing. “There were out of towners in for the 3 on 3 tournament and locals were out and about too.” “I hope to do it again next year,” said Alissa Miller, a board member for the Baker Chamber of Commerce. “I think it went really well.” Along with the 3 on 3 tournament this year had another fun new event: a bike parade. On Saturday morning roughly fifteen kids showed up outside of Mom’s Laundry to show off their decorated bikes in the bike parade as they rode them down to the Reynold’s parking lot where they ended with a sweet treat!
