FUN WATER BALLOON FACT: 💦

For those who may not be aware in 2019 the Newmarket Recreation Department submitted the idea of “National Water Balloon Day” to the official National Day Calendar organization. Out of 10,000 submittals they receive each year, “National Water Balloon Day” was 1 of 30 selected that year! That’s right! National Water Balloon Day is official now and it is celebrated on the 1st Friday of August every year henceforth around the world. Currently the Rec Department celebrates National Water Balloon Day during their Camp Wanna Iguana program by hosting a huge water balloon fight with the campers utilizing over 10,000 balloons. However it has always been the plan to someday get the entire community on board with Newmarket’s new claim to fame!
