Our First Street Party
Yesterday "Saturday" evening we had our first street party. I say first because we hope to have more in the future.
It was a great success with us meeting many of the people on the street and them meeting each other it was pretty cool.
Vania and Glenys (one of our neighbours) were the organizers of the event. Vania was the MC and I was the BBQ guy. It all started out with a kids parade where Vania led all the kids down the street beating a drum, she recently got for a steal at a garage sale. The kids wore costumes, rode their bikes or were pulled on carts, and made lots of noise with their noise makers.
There were burgers and hot dogs to eat, lots to drink, and lots of games for the kids.
It was a lot of fun and there was a great sense of community pride!
Looking forward to greater opportunities to connect with and get to know all our neighbours.
If you'd like to see pictures, see the set at "our gallery". More will be added over the next couple of days.
