The Tent is Down on another successful Parade and Community Festival in Downtown Tustin. As we look back on the 2nd Annual event, I want to personally thank all who contributed to its success. The funds raised from this and other events sponsored by T.C.C.Y.P. will directly support the dreams and aspirations of kids throughout Tri-County Area of Winnebago, Waushara and Waupaca Counties.

The highlight of the parade was the "4 Men And A Flag" Float - When they came through the parade route there was not a dry eye on the streets. It was amazing that they held their position for a full 50 minutes.

A 4th of July Parade would not be complete without the honored guest "Uncle Sam" Thanks Kevin "Nutty" Kellogg and your talent of walking on stilts!

Who says that a small group of dedicated people cannot make a difference?????  It all began in the fall of 2007 when together with a girlfriend we won a local pool ($44) and pledged our winnings to create an organization that would be supported by local events and benefit our community.

We knew we needed help, so we rounded up the girls and began brain storming. After many, many hours . . our child was born!  "The Tri-County Community Youth Project" -         

Our Mission . . . To provide a positive and supportive opportunity to local youths so they may grow to be successful role models and contribute positively to their community today, and into the future".
