Tuesday, August 2nd 2005, our neighborhood celebrated National Night Out (NNO).
Block Parties included:
Three Separate Block Parties were held in the neighborhood.
The Party locations were: the Pat and Nancy Defoor residence at 900 North Bend Drive;
the Dale and Greta Sellers residence at 1106 Gemini; and the Walt Esquivel residence at 1006 Huntridge. The block parties included hot dogs and refreshments, and all had a good time.
The Sellers group numbered about 30, Defoor's group numbered 32, and Walt Esquivel had about the same. We may have reached close to a hundred household members attending this year's NNO at these three locations and all had a good time. We also were pleased that two policemen visited our gatherings
