KH Nights Out Retun |
|
You can't imagine a better way to spend a
summers evening right in your own
neighborhood! Kennedy Heights Nights Out are
back, Celebrating Our Fourth Year of Fun in
the Neighborhood! There will be plenty of
food and drink for all-grilled hot dogs,
metts, chips, cake, brownies, fruit cups and
even ice cream treats! Best of all, it's all
free. There will be T-Shirts on sale for
$5.00, so you can show your community
pride!
These annual events occur because volunteers
bring food, grill and serve anyone who stops
by. It wouldn't be surprising to find a
hundred or more neighbors coming through!
Citizens on Patrol sponsor the nights out,
and the police make a presence that is
impressive! It makes a great way for the
community to communicate with the police.
Youngsters and oldsters alike coming to the
event can expect to play ball, ride bikes &
scooters, dance and even play corn hole toss.
There might even be prizes for the high
score! All in all, it's a great time because
Young and old come together for an evening of
fun.
The dates and locations for 2009:
- Saturday July 18th, 6-8 pm at Kennedy and
Zinsle in the Presbyterian Church parking
lot
- Saturday August 8th, 6-8 pm in the Tot
Lot playground at Zinsle and Red Bank
Just an evening to get the
community together! All are welcome! No
charge!! Just come and bring a neighbor!
