A Wonderful Family Event in a South Metro Neighborhood

Last week, the Piney Creek Women’s League hosted its highly anticipated seventh annual 4th of July Parade and Picnic. To say that this is a major community event is like saying Mount Rushmore is a stone carving. This is the fourth time that TeamCox has organized this event and the main concerns are the same every year.  Will we have a good turnout?  Will the weather be too hot; will it rain?  Will everything turn out as planned?  Will the community support this?  We were once again blown away by the support and response from the families in Piney Creek.  This was by far the highest attendance ever and everyone seemed to have such a great time.  It is such fun to see so many neighbors greeting and hugging one another and genuinely happy for the sense of community that this event offers.

The kids were thrilled with the addition of Holly the Clown and a dunk tank that helped to beat the heat.  Centennial Mayor Pro-tem, Todd Miller and the first family, served as grand marshals for the official parade that was led from Indian Ridge Elementary school to the Piney Creek clubhouse.  The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s department ID’d and "tattooed" many of the children.  The sheriff’s department also brought out a CERTs trailer and had an officer on hand explain this program that is locally taught and funded by the Department of Homeland Security.

What better way to spend the 4th of July than having a great family event and honoring all who serve our nation both away and locally!
