Chris said: “After what everyone has been through in the past couple of years, I wanted to do something that was free to help the community.
“We prayed that it wasn’t going to rain and the forecast looks like it is going to hold out so we expect that it is going to be a really nice day.”
There will also be face painting, kids entertainment and fairground rides for children.
