Greetings!
We're in the home stretch for summer. But
before everyone gets back to school and into
the fall routine, there are several special
events taking place in Kennedy Heights.

Extra Special Event To Be Held At Drake Park |

Drake Park (5800 Red Bank Rd) will be the
site of a unique event this weekend as a
little bit of Hollywood comes to Kennedy
Heights. Join the Kennedy Heights Community
Council and the Cincinnati Park Board for
Mayor Mallory's
Neighborhood Movie Night on Saturday
August 8th.
A huge, inflatable movie screen will be set up
in the park and the feature will be the
family film "Madagascar 2". The movie will
start at dusk (between 8:00 & 9:00). Mayor
Mallory will be there to shake hands. Poppy's
Flavored Ice will be selling concessions, but
people are welcome to bring their own food as
well as a lawn chair or blanket.

Final Kennedy Heights Night Out this Weekend |

Kennedy Heights Nights Out will have it's
final event of the summer on Saturday August
8th, 6-8 pm in the Tot Lot playground at
Zinsle and Red Bank.
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.
Just an evening to get the community
together! All are welcome! No charge!! Just
come and bring a neighbor! Sponsored by:
Community Problem-Oriented Policing (CPOP)
and other nonprofit community organizations
