Foley employees save the day for Art in the Park on Mother's Day weekend
FOLEY, Ala. (WKRG) — What ended up being a beautiful Mother's Day weekend at Foley's annual Art in the Park almost wasn't. 3 arrested, accused of running pill mill at Pace Pharmacy: FDLE Art in the Park is an annual event that features arts and crafts vendors in the John B. Foley Park every Mother's Day weekend. This year, heavy rains hit the area Friday night and Saturday morning, flooding the park and leaving it with nearly 6 inches of standing water in some areas, according to a City of Foley news release. 'A lot of the vendors set up on Friday and they thought they were going to be OK. They had done everything correctly as far as sandbagging and fenders, but it just rained so much Friday night and Saturday morning,' Art Center Executive Director Chloe Salinas said. 80 vendors were slated to set up for the festival, according to the release. Salinas said Foley Parks and Recreation employees, even some who weren't scheduled to work, came in early Saturday and pumped the water out, saving the event. 'Had it not been for them getting in the pumps and getting everything done right away, we would have had to cancel for Saturday,' Salinas said. 'There was just no way we could have done it.' Salinas said only three people had been scheduled for that day, but others came in to help out to get it done faster. Those working to clean up the park for the annual event included Ryan Harrison, Freddy Cuellar, Matthew D'Agati, Joanna Blue, Michelle Gann, Wes McKenzie, Corey Ryan, Vincent Salac and Daniel Seavall. 1 woman continuously leaves sick litters of kittens at A Hope animal welfare in Milton 'They really did a great job and helped make the weekend a success,' Salinas said. 'We would not have been able to do this without them.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
