It was last week that we spoke with Danville Human Relations Administrator Sandra Finch about the upcoming Community Day in Lincoln Park, and when Sunday afternoon arrived the weather was absolutely perfect; with food prepared by the mayor and city council and personnel; and music by Vermilion County’s North Street Soul and Champaign’s Noah Brown and Family. Mayor Rickey Williams, Jr said it doesn’t get much better.

AUDIO: Administrator Finch and the Human Relations and MLK Committees do a great job organizing everything. And the aldermen and department and division heads come out and serve. And you can see we have hundreds of people. So we’re just really thankful to see everyone come together; regardless of race, gender, orientation, socioeconomic status; it’s just nice to see people come together.
Danville Alderman Robert Williams agreed.
AUDIO: It’s beautiful out here. The attendance is strong. And we’re here to enjoy ourselves, relax, and get to know each other.
Sunday’s activities at Lincoln Park wrapped up with a performance by the Danville Municipal Band.
