Oh, what a Summer this is going to be! It gets off to a fast start with the 5K run at the UC Celebration on the 4th of July at Standley Park. And that’s just the beginning. The all-day event also includes a community breakfast, a bike and pet parade, great food, community vendors and outreach booths, kids games and activities, an opportunity drawing for themed gift baskets, a book barn, snow-in-July play area, beer and wine garden, and entertainment throughout the day. The festivities close with a concert provided by local favorites 3 Car Garage.
Did you know that the UC Celebration is the biggest outdoor neighbor networking event in University City? We look forward to seeing you there. More information about the UC Celebration is available at UCCelebration.com and in the July/August newsletter.
