Because you chose to spend the 3rd weekend of August in Downtown Perryville, MO! 💛💙

This is one of many events Gateway Down Syndrome Association supports/provides for our young and adult kiddos! The amount of pride, personality and abilities that shined that night was OFF THE CHARTS! It was so fun and heart warming! Miss Abigail still tells many "Did you know, I'm a model now?!" 😉🥰

See you guys August 14th-15th, 2026!!

(MANY MANY details coming in the next couples of days/weeks...stay tuned!)
