Hi neighbors! 

Passing along details about this great annual tradition that our Westwood Park neighbors host every July 4 (and have for decades!). It's one of my family's favorite summer events, and I encourage you to join the festivities! 

Happy Summer!

Hello Neighbors!

Mark your calendars for the annual Westwood Park 4th of July Parade! This is an event that brings the neighborhood together in a fun way while also building community with our local fire and police departments. We also extend this invite to our neighboring Poplar Heights friends. 

Here are the details:

• Around 9:00am on the 4th, meet on Fairwood near West at Frey Ct.
• Start it off at the "Kick-Start Station" with coffee, donuts and tatoos -- this gets everyone awake and in the spirit :-) 
• Kids are on bikes, scooters, and/or riding in wagons or strollers. Feel free to decorate their rides with stars, stripes, and all things patriotic! Every year, we're amazed at the level of festiveness. 
• Around 9:15am, we will say the Pledge of Allegiance and start the walk/ride alongside the fire/rescue trucks and police vehicles to Shrevewood Elementary School. Neighbors along Fairwood sit out in their yards to cheer on the parade as it comes through the community. 
  • The walk can be hot depending on the weather, so don't forget your water, sunscreen, and a hat/sunglasses.
• Once at Shrevewood Elementary, the trucks will stay for a bit (as long as no service calls) so that we can chat with neighbors and fire/EMS workers and let everyone check out the vehicles! We will have watermelon and popsicles for everyone.

Hope you'll join us in your best red, white and blue! It's a great way to connect with one another and with our local fire department/EMS/police workers who give so much to our community.

Many thanks to those who have already volunteered to help-- if anyone else is interested in assisting, please let me know. If you have any questions, please email me (elizabet...@gmail.com).

Thank you!

Elise, Neal & the 4th of July Parade Team (Lindsey, Eileen, Ted, Erin, Allison)
