In what we can only hope will be the beginning of a long-running annual tradition, Cleveland Park Day on Saturday turned out to be a fine event for the whole family, just as promised, fair weather and all..
A big thank you to all the organizers, volunteers, participants, visitors, and charmingly well-behaved kids and pets who made the day possible -- with a special shout-out to the DC Fire Department, who not only successfully maneuvered one of their biggest hook-and-ladder trucks through the narrow driveway of the Park 'n' Shop to show off their equipment to local kids, but who also did a magnificent job on Friday cordoning off the downed wires and protecting residents in the immediate aftermath of the fallen tree on Newark that caused the outage.
We're also glad to report that Pepco crew members worked throughout the night to replace six telephone poles on Newark Street and restring the power lines so that Cleveland Park residents could go off to today's festivities secure in the knowledge that their homes were back on the grid.

The pictures are great. It looks like many had a marvelous time. I am sorry to have missed it but Cairo is holding my attention at the moment. Here's support for a continuing event!

Why no wide shots showing the size of the crowd?
ReplyDeleteKudos to the Fire Department for the tours of the hook and ladder truck and the fire station. It was great!
