National Night Out 2007

We had great fun at the block party last week. Everyone enjoyed pizza and soft drinks, along with free stuff for the kids and Target gift card giveaways! The kids all had a blast in the bounce house and on the water slide!

A special thanks to Target, who was there handing out Popsicles, popcorn and other stuff for everyone.

We would also like to thank the Carrollton Police for the visits by both motorcycle and bicycle patrols and Carrollton Fire as well.

This was our biggest turnout yet, with over 150 residents attending. We look forward to next year and will shoot for a new record.
