TTA Summerfest 2026 YouTube Links
The rain couldn't keep our members, family and friends from coming out and enjoying themselves at our 16th annual Summerfest. We now have a new activity called the Gene Kelly Dance, dancing in the rain with your umbrella.
We were lucky to have 15 years of sunny Summerfests, but this will be a memorable one as you can see from the videos. Thanks again, Cecil, Cynthia and Tristan, and all the great volunteers and supporters. YOU ARE THE BEST!
