As many of the people that run this live in the neighborhood, I imagine most of this is caused by out-of-towners, but if you have a chance, go out and check out the festivities…it’s fun stuff!

I just wanted to warn everybody to be on the lookout for illegal activity in the neighborhood this weekend. Last year the neighborhood got tagged in numerous locations and trash was left everywhere. I’m all for having a good time as long as everybody keeps it legal, respects their neighbors and cleans up their mess.
