National Night Out

Tuesday night was National Night Out where block watch groups have their yearly gathering to meet and greet new and old neighbors.  It is the one event we celebrate with our neighbors during the year.
This year we had a bouncy house rented by one of the neighbors for the kids.  And the Magnolia Big Band playing.  What a treat...good food, good company and good music.

Magnolia Big Band

Tonight was National Night Out.  Our neighborhood blocks the street from through traffic and we have a block party.  Each year it is seems to get bigger and bigger.  Neighborhood kids ride their bikes in the blocked off street, we set up tables and chairs in the street and have a potluck.  Best of all we have our own Big band playing.  One of our neighbors is a member of the Magnolia Big Band.  It is a group that has been together for 40 years playing Big Band Jazz.  Tuesday nights is their practice night so each year on National Night out we get to enjoy their wonderful sound!
