The Cape Henlopen School District hosted the inaugural Cape Community Day in the Park May 21 at the Slaughter Neck Recreation Center.
Student Services and Equity Initiatives Supervisor Louis Cosme helped organize the event with the support of the district. About an hour into the event, Cosme was pleased with how things turned out.
There’s music, free food, fun for the kids and a good turnout, said Cosme. So far, there’s been a few hundred people, he said.
It was hot, which is why people were standing in this small sliver of shade.
