Successful Cain's View Community Celebration 2016!

I am finally able to take a moment to  reflect back at our Cain's View Estates Community Celebration this past weekend on July 9th.    I just have to say that personally I had one of the best times I could ever recall connecting with such great individuals in our community!

Special thanks to our Co-Hosts Cheryl Johnson & June Ries who make their homes in Cain's View Estates.   I am so  grateful for all the time and effort they put into this event.    It simply started with an idea and from there these ladies were able to take that excitement and motivate others in this community to volunteer  and  make this event happen.    This handful of residents  planned everything from the biggest to littlest details that made this event one of kind that many of us will be talking about for a very long time!

  Plans started to take shape back in April 2016.  Cain's View Estates hosted a Spring Breakfast at our community room with those attending bringing a dish. 

 This really was just a way to get out and meet the neighbors as we anticipated spring around the corner.    This event was well attended so talk began about doing something spectacular for the Summer to Celebrate since we have a great space for it.  

It all started with an idea.   In the end so many hands had a part in this! 

 The food was great - Most was donated!  Indoor & Outdoor Decorations appeared pretty fancy!  The grilling crew in my opinion was one of the best!   The DJ rocked the party while all kinds of other activities kept those in attendance occupied.   The weather was warm but we had a set up  crew that made it possible for those outdoors to enjoy their time in the shade!

To show appreciation for all that attended  there were all kinds of prizes that were generously donated by businesses and merchants in our area. 

 So many prizes in fact that nobody should have left empty handed!

The inflatable house was never empty - A huge thank you to the individuals that did the pick up, drop off and set up for this as well as volunteered to supervise this during the celebration! 

It was fun to see all the smiles whether it was someone getting their face painted or they just won  a price for winning one of the many games that were played that afternoon!  I have lots of Photo's I could share!  If you do too please let me know.  

Food & Fun was had by all ages at our July 9, 2016 Cain;s View Celebration

The City of Sioux Falls Police Department as well as Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue joined us to Celebrate!  I am so proud that we make Sioux Falls our home and have these brave individuals as  a part of our community! We all shared the afternoon together with food, games, & conversation.    I am certain that new faces and friendships were formed that day!

 I am so  grateful for all the time and effort of those in the neighborhood  that volunteered to make this event happen and to have planned everything from the smallest  to largest detail that made this event one of kind that many of use will be talking about for a very long time!  

I would encourage anyone that attended to share their experience, photos and expectations  for what our next community celebration can be!
