4th of July Party Recap and Thanks

A great time was had by all at the recent 4th of July party!  The festivities started with a parade down Braided Rope and Scofield Farms Drives led by an Austin Fire Department truck. Volunteers gave away red, white, and blue bandannas, hats and tiaras for participants before the parade.

The pool party began shortly thereafter. Refreshments included hot dogs, chips, cake, watermelon, and freeze pops. Everyone also enjoyed games including the ever-popular coin toss and watermelon relay.

A special thank you is in order to all the volunteers, with special recognition due to Maria Shelby who has done such an excellent job organizing this party for the past several years. Alan Shelby also kept the festivities on track as the emcee. Other volunteers include: Isaiah and Marina Butts, Dan Frasier, Mike, Wynn and Wesley Hutter, David and Leigh Ann Brunson, Laura Nattinger, and many others at the event who stepped up to help bring the party together!
