KINGMAN – On Friday, August 2, Kingman held their monthly First Friday on Beale Street, displaying how the town as a community supports one another in their trades, talents, and hobbies. Mini-games including a dunk tank at the “Live After Five” block were provided. Bouncy houses and water slides for children were scattered throughout all of downtown. Entertainment was available to the public, and water balloons were being thrown at the “Maker’s Market” block as a lively and refreshing way to cool off kids … and some adults, too.

The Kingman community yet again found a way to draw all of it’s town together, even in the hot summer heat!
