Summer is meant to be fun with lots to do. So why not start the season off right? Tinker Air Force Base will be hosting Summer Bash on June 4. Summer Bash is an awesome way for the Tinker community to get together while having fun. The event will feature two sides. The first is the children's side, which will have lots of fun games and activities for kids of all ages to enjoy. There will also be blow-up bounce houses, free food and even the band Banana Seat.
