Fourth of July Picnic Party Was Fun for All

Fourth of July Picnic Party Was Fun for All

Our annual 4th of July bash offered a big parade, fun raffle, pool party, and splendid weather.

2018’s rendition fell on a Wednesday. Mid-week holidays equal a weeklong party for some. Early July is best known for hot weather and a neighborhood celebration in this little place we call home.

The fun started on Monday night when the Patriots swim team hosted Villages of Westminster/WISC for a fast night of swimming. Our swimmers love showing off abundant neighborhood pride. Thanks to VG for coming out and buying food and cheering us on. We won this dual meet. Many swimmers dropped times. The competition and spirit were amazing.

Tuesday night featured our annual biathlon. All ages competed in this year’s splash & dash. All are invited to next year’s event. VG especially thanks Laura Cvitanovich for organizing this athletic tradition.

The big day finally arrived, ushering a sunny dry day for a picnic celebration. Kids lined up for a parade led by NNFD. There were 4 or 5 trucks but the main attraction was Uncle Sam himself together with kids on bikes.

After the parade routed through VG the party started. Little kids enjoyed the carnival and played games and won prizes. Thanks to our swim team for running the games.

There were food tables, patriotic displays, and smiles everywhere. Did we mention the raffle? Prizes were amazing! Think about stacks of gift cards, artwork, and other goodies.

A natural fit for the events was a pool party. All were invited to the wet & wild time. Dave Cvitanovich was the announcer. From his mic, Dave led dive competitions. Do you have what it takes to win belly flop? See you in 2019 for next year’s annual Independence day picnic in VG.
