Families at the Coloma Township Homes in Rock Falls were treated with a couple days of fun Thursday, July 31, and Friday, Aug. 1, from the Whiteside County Housing Authority.

On Thursday, a cookout was held for the families. On Friday, a pair of water slides were brought in for the fun. The days of fun were described by WCHA director Jennifer McCleary as “a positive event to build relationships with the tenants and each other.”
