4th of July Celebration Wesley and Ben, 10 year old scouts, wrote this article to fulfill their Communicator Webelo Badge requirement. Spring Creek Ranch Neighborhood 4th of July 2014 activities celebrated our countries freedom. A parade of kids and adults rode bikes starting at 9:30 a.m. circling back to the Grey Goose Road Pavilion. They marched and rode to remember our troops marching all over the world. Wesley watched flags and shiny red, white and blue decorations walk and drive by his house to find a brunch awaiting. At the Pavilion, Debbie Gardner’s hard work came to life. Fresh fruit, muffins, donuts, cereal and milk lined the picnic tables. Neighbors provided a flag ceremony accompanied by instrumental and vocal chords of patriotic music. Children smiled and ran around playing games to win prizes. Ben mentioned that a raffle for one or two prizes might encourage him to come every year. We surveyed 26 neighbors about improving food and activities in our neighborhood. Out of three holidays the Fourth of July placed at 46% being the most favored. Our results also found that meats would improve next year’s celebration with a preference of 62% for steak or bacon and sausage. Lynn Wilkey commented, “Activities that allow boys and girls to play are the best.” An amazing 77% clearly found organized baseball participation or watching would improve this wonderful neighborhood holiday for adults and kids alike!
