We hope everyone had an enjoyable 4th of July! It started off with the annual parade throughout Village Green with the NNFD from Station #6 leading many of our neighbors and Uncle Sam. Look below for links to pictures taken by Wes Poole and Victoria Woodruff. Thanks for capturing these special moments!
Amy Nuttall coordinated this year’s 4th of July and the turnout was amazing despite the heat/humidity. THANK YOU!
Thanks to all of those neighbors that came out and enjoyed this wonderful tradition. A special thanks goes out to those who volunteered their time to make July 3rd and July 4th a memorable occasion for so many!

The annual Biathlon was run again with some previous athletes (Carrisa and Candice came out of retirement) and equally important MANY new faces!!! What a great time. This is what Village Green is all about. Connor was DJ and official race starter due to a bicycle accident the day before. We had several last minute entries which made it fun and exciting. Coach Amy brought a distance runner with her and the Block children were resourceful in drafting teammates. (The Woodruff’s are starting their training for next year’s biathlon beginning tomorrow.) Team Potatoes shot out of the gate with a great swim and then rocketed around Village Green Pkwy with the fastest run — admittedly, they caught the race organizers by surprise!!!
We had to run 3 heats because we had 14 teams! That was amazing…and made it a bit of a challenge for the official timekeeper. 😉 Thanks for the 14 timers that were able to help out using stopwatches and cell phones.
Great job to all the participants and of course to all the winners!

The 1st annual Junior Biathlon was a SUCCESS and positioned these young athletes for future success in the Village Green Biathlon in coming years. We had 9 children participate…4 teams of 2 and 1 athlete that ran the grueling biathlon event by himself, Cameron (Coach Amy’s son). We had parents and spectators stationed throughout the cross-country track in the Village Green Park and these kids had a great time officially kicking off our 4th of July festivities this year!
Thanks to all the volunteers and spectators that came out and thanks to Connor for being the DJ and official starter for the evening.

Just a reminder that we’re now accepting candy donations for the bike parade at 678 Village Green Parkway. There’s a plastic crate behind our front brick wall. Or, if our front door is open behind the storm door, feel free to ring the bell and give us the candy in person. The cupboard is currently bare, so don’t assume someone else is donating all the candy we need.
Also, we’re still in need of a LOT more raffle prizes. We had a few merchants who donated something on the spot, but we’re still following up with others, not knowing whether they’re going to donate or not. If you know a business owner who might be willing to contribute a prize, please contact them. We have contacted pretty much all of the Tech Center businesses, plus Papa Murphy’s Yorktown, AMF bowling center, Regal Cinema and Azzurri Italian restaurant.
You can contact me at 652-5770 or [email protected] if you have any questions or if you’d like a copy of the raffle prize request letter which we have been giving to potential donors.
