This Saturday, July Fourth, beginning at 4:00 PM, join us and celebrate our nation’s independence at our annual ice cream social and children’s parade.  Neighborhood realtor, Sharon Ettinger of Keller William Metropolitan Realty, is once again generously sponsoring the Timbergrove Manor event.  Family fun for everyone does not get any better than celebrating and seeing life through the eyes of children. The best part?  The children’s parade, with their pets!  We know that it’s a big deal for children to be in a real parade.  So come on kids!  Decorate your wagons, bicycles, tricycles, strollers, carts and YOURSELF!  Show us your red, white and blue!  Join the parade around Jaycee Park.  Be sure to bring your pets with you.  It is a little known fact that pets love to show off in the annual parade too.  There will be prizes for everyone!

Amy’s Ice Creams will be back again this year, of course, to serve up your favorite flavors.  “Would you like that in a cup or a cone?  One scoop or two?  And which toppings would you like?”  We all knew that the hot weather was coming soon and it has!  THIS should take the hot edge off of a summer day.

NEW this year, we are bringing the watermelon back!  Served ice cold and cut fresh!  “Would you pass the salt?”

No Independence Day celebration hosted by Timbergrove Manor be complete without a fire engine?  NO!  So KIDS!  You can come out and see the fire engine which will be parked nearby and climb aboard, turn the steering wheel, meet the firemen, take pictures and learn about firefighting first hand.

At all of our neighborhood events, you will find an information table.  Make donations to our current effort (PLEASE make a donation) to collect money to keep the porta-potties in Jaycee Park.  There is a chance Timbergrove Manor might lose the porta-potties at the park, installed in December, due to lack of funding.  If you haven’t yet, you can pay your 2015 Membership Dues.  We will have car window neighborhood decals available.  We urge you to come and pick one up if you don’t already have one.  Neighborhood security is very important and these stickers help our Citizen’s Patrol volunteers distinguish between Timbergrove Manor residents and the bad guys.
