It was the beginning of a beautiful day on the morning of July 4, 2018 as WERA volunteers were preparing for the Independence Day celebrations to come.\u00a0 The parade route along apple blossom was lined with American flags and the starting point accented with patriotic decorations.\u00a0 The goody bags were ready for our littlest neighbors to open with excitement.\u00a0 The Membership Table greeted our loyal members and even some new faces in the neighborhood.\u00a0 Chris, WERA President, enthusiastically delivered some opening remarks, neighborhood youth shared their patriotic spirit in song, and the young neighborhood prince and princess were announced.\u00a0 Leading the parade was a classic car driven by a neighbor who carries on the tradition that his father had begun many years ago.\u00a0 The procession was bustling with babies in strollers and wagons, children on bicycles, scooters, hover boards, and play cars, dogs with tails wagging, and proud parents and neighbors of all walks of life marching right along.\u00a0 When the parade ended, neighbors said goodbye until they would meet again at the Point for fireworks at dusk.\u00a0 After many family bbqs, much swimming and boating in the Pond, and other summer holiday festivities, it was time to end the day with a Bang!\u00a0 The energy was building as neighbors gathered back together to watch the fireworks from the Point – the best viewing location on the Pond.\u00a0 WERA members were thrilled to see the amazing fireworks show presented by the Johnson’s Pond Civic Association<\/a>.\u00a0 After the long day of fun, heads hit the pillows hard and minds were blessed with the memories created.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
