We found out Wednesday that there had been some miscommunication and they wouldn't be here. So I scrambled around trying to get some children's activities but it was a little too late to be able to do anything.

Everything went well and it looked like everyone had a great time. The police said there were no arrests and there were no complaints from the city about a mess left behind.
