The Milwood Neighborhood Association and Walnut Creek Neighborhood Association hopes everyone had a great time at our annual Fourth of July Parade and Picnic. Judging by the amount of people participating in the parade and the amount of food we served, this has definitely been one of the best attended celebrations in the last few years. the estimate we decided upon was about 400 people participated in the event.
We talked to several people who were joining us for the first time, even though they’ve lived in the neighborhood for a while, and all seemed to have really enjoyed themselves and were impressed by the large turn out. Hopefully everyone was able to at least meet a neighbor they did not know and that everyone feels a little bit closer as a community.
I personally want to thank all the volunteers who helped during the event – from those that arrived early to set-up, the guys manning the grills, the tireless volunteers that helped serve the food, to those that stayed behind to clean-up and pack everything away. Without the efforts from these great volunteers this event wouldn’t be possible.
We also want to recognize the sponsors of this event. Without their contributions this event wouldn’t have been as great a success as it was.
