Our neighborhood came alive on the 4th as we all joined in the celebration. The annual 4th of July Kids Bicycle Parade on the Norhill esplanade was a vibrant display of our community spirit, with free watermelon, face painting, popsicles, and waterloos adding to the festive atmosphere.
Our newest board member, Dallas Jagneaux Boyle, and her husband, Travis Boyle, played a pivotal role in coordinating this first event in her new tenure as Director of Membership. Their dedication and hard work made this a successful event. We look forward to seeing more of their efforts in the upcoming months as they continue to bring new events to our neighborhood meetings. Stay tuned!
Our parade was led by a unique feature, a 1930 Ford Coupe, driven by Charles Philpott, a proud member of the Restorer Model A Ford Club of America. This vintage automobile, a cherished part of his family's history, has been in their possession for an impressive 65 years. To learn more about this vintage automobile, visit the July 4th newsletter in the WHCA Newsletter Archives.
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to parade pace setters Travis and Michael Graves, who led the parade behind Charles, with a celebratory flag runner to keep all the kiddos safe and behind the Ford Coupe. Their voluntary efforts and dedication made the event a success. They did a great job, so kudos to them for their run.
Our WHCA Constable Patrol Precinct 1 Deputies, Jacob Lemmons and Amanda Suggs, played a crucial role in ensuring the safety of our little ones. Their diligent work in making sure the kiddos knew the safety rules before the start of the parade, and their continuous efforts during the event, made sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable ride.
