This year's Black Rock Day is in memory of Jan Williams.
The Williams Family was
instrumental in the creation of Black Rock Day back in 1976 under the
direction of the Black Rock Community Council's first president Kaye
Williams (Jans father). Throughout the years, Jan continued to be an
active and enthusiastic supporter of Black Rock Day and recently
established Captain's Cove as a major sponsor. The Black Rock Community
Council is pleased to honor Jan by holding this year's event in her
memory.
Black Rock Day
continues to grow in popularity as a
great way to kick off the summer.
Fun! Fun! Fun! and Much,
Much More!
Come join the fun and check back often for updates!
