Connor Hedge was remembered on Saturday by hundreds, among them classmates, friends, teachers, community members and more as House Creek Elementary School along with Connor’s family hosted a birthday party and celebration of life for the five-year-old who passed away on July 10 after a nearly four-year battle with neuroblastoma.
 
House Creek Principal Larea Gamble was there, along with members of the House Creek staff who helped with the event.
 
“(Connor’s) parents didn’t want a traditional type memorial service,” Gamble said of the carnival-like atmosphere, complete with games, food, bubbles and sidewalk chalk, culminating with a slide show and balloon release.
