Without a look at their "grand opening" cake, the cotton candy or the fresh popcorn, hundreds of members of the Bristol Boys and Girls Club rushed into the field house of their brand new building Tuesday.
"It's really cool," said Brianna Parker, who led the parade from the old building around the corner on Laurel Street.
The Bristol Boys and Girls Club raised $11 million to build the new building over the last five years.
"I think it took a lot of courage, a lot of love, a lot of hard work," said executive director Michael Suchopar, "and a belief that we have to do something for the kids in our community."
An open house will be held Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
