The Elkridge community had another wonderful Sunday afternoon at the third annual Summer’s End Jam.

“We gave out a mountain of popcorn and more than 800 hot dogs and 800 bottles of water. Kids played in a 63-foot inflatable dragon and a moon bounce,” The Rev. John Mackall, from Crosslife Church, said. “All the while, everyone was listing to live music from Lost and Found (CrossLife’s Praise Team), ORB, Heavy Weather, and Bill Babcock. That was not all; the Dunk Tank was busy again earning big money for the Elkridge Food Pantry!”

Here is a list of the Dunk Tank participants and the amounts they raised: Mr. “B” Conrad Brookhart $94.00; Rev. Mackall, $52.75; Principal Tom Saunders, $48; Coach Strunk, $37; Dunk A Punk: Punk One – Kyle Mackall $48.50; Punk Two – Stephen Eastman $34; Punk Three – Austin Lintz $14.

Everyone who attended and assisted with this year’s Summer’s End Jam was a winner, although the biggest winner was the Elkridge Food Pantry! They received a truckload of food and more than $2,841 in donations.
