WOW!! A bustling farmers market on Third Street, the Prendergast Library Book Sale, The on-going Literary Trail, the Soap Box Derby and Northside PRIDE’s Summer Block Party. The palpable energy of this week’s activities goes to show that Jamestown is a progressive city to be proud of.
As one of the organizers of the Northside Pride’s Block Party, I was overwhelmed with the community support and neighborhood camaraderie. Such an impressive turnout showed me that people in our community share a common goal: to make Jamestown a healthy, safe, and enjoyable place to live. I wish to thank Mayor Teresi and Councilmen, Paul Whitford and Tony Dolce for coming out to support the Block Party. I was particularly impressed with the organizational contributions that helped make this event a great success. A big THANK YOU goes to Janet Forbes and Kerry Mihalko of the Jamestown Garden Group and The Creating Healthy Places Program for forging a great partnership and for conducting an educational-planting-demo. A special thanks goes to Peter Lombardi of Jamestown Renaissance Center, to CHRIC, NeighborWorks and Youthbuild, especially to Larry Kestner, who constructed the garden boxes and to Cindy Rocky who helped secure the funding for the event. A very heartfelt thank you goes to Julie and Matt Harper of Four Season’s Nursery for providing soil and vegetable plants, to Jamestown Awning for providing the tent and to Tom Harris of H&H metal for providing the grill, and to all those behind-the-scenes for their hard work with the set-up, including Anne and Paul Leone, Ken and Theresa Sohmer, Larry Pace and The Ruth and Don Baker family.
