Greenacres Celebrates July 4th

The sun may not have shined on Greenacres this July 4th, but everyone seemed to relish the comfortable, breezy mid 70's degree weather. A huge turnout of our neighbors celebrated our nation's birthday with watermelon, bagels, lemonade, coffee and donut holes as well as games, races, candy hunts and patriotic activities sponsored by the Greenacres Neighborhood Association. The celebration culminated in the ever popular water jets propelled by a Fire Department engine on an appreciative crowd of children and adults.

Here are the results of the races and games:
