WILLIS, TX – Water Day at New Danville means getting wet one way or another. The recent fun day for Wranglers (clients), staff, and volunteers provided fun, games, dancing, and hot dogs. New Danville is a rural nonprofit community in Willis for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and others with similar needs.

The much anticipated Water Day at New Danville began with the Wranglers walking through a tunnel of high fives offered by staff members and volunteers. July is a great time to get soaking wet in between rain days.

If it is party time at New Danville, then it must be dancing time, too. A New Danville direct support professional enjoys the music near the water slide at a recent Water Day.
