Neighborhood Block Party - A HUGE Success!




I was worried that no one was going to come, but I think it was a hit! It was a lot of fun...especially the children's bike parade. SO many kids came with their bikes, it was wonderful to have a street closure for them to ride safely in the street (even if it was only for 1 1/2 hours!!). I loved watching people mingle, introducing themselves to new people & getting to know one another!

We are really grateful that we were visited by our WVC COP (Community Officer Patrol) Sargeant Hansen! Also, Thanks to our WVC Fire Department...even though they got a call to leave right when they came, & then they even came back...but got another call before they even got out of the fire engine...but we are thankful that they made efforts to visit us! Also, thank you to Steve Vincent, our city councilman over our district & our Code Enforment Officers who came to visit our Neighborhood Watch Block Party! I want to also say a special thank you to my block captains... We couldn't have had this Block Party without your help!!!

And a HUGE thank you to Craig Thomas with West Valley City Neighborhood Services who continually supports us Neighborhood Watch Chairs!

It was so much fun Renee! The kids had a blast and there were a lot of new faces there! I really enjoyed visiting with new people who we don't normal see.

Well done!
