People from 1 to 100 years old came out to celebrate President-elect Trump’s victory in this past week’s election.

It was a very peaceful celebration, with tailgaters sharing food amongst groups, spread out along the rear parking lot of Lake Miona Recreation Center. The picnic tables under the pavilion were quickly filled, with others occupying shady areas nearby.
