This is How We Do It.....

Before we celebrate this year's Independence Day...here's a look back at 2013

We started the morning with the annual Landing II Parade...complete with decorated floats, bikes, and even puppies!

Our celebrity Grand Marshals were Ben Franklin and Betsey Ross ( aka Mike and Sharon Boyle)

In 2013, we added a salute to our neighborhood veterans...

After the Parade...we all enjoyed Krispy Kreme Donuts, Juice and Coffee....Thanks Hedstroms!

Then it was Carnival Time...complete with pony rides, games and bounce houses. 

...even a few treats for the grown ups at The Knutson's!

After a morning of fun and games..everyone was ready for the Emerald Hot Dog Deli. Nothing like lunch for 300 neighbors!

The afternoon rounded out with the Rich Hyland Frisbee Golf Tournament and the Cake Walk.

Then it was time for the real fun to begin...

...at the Street Party BBQ!

There ain't no party like a Landings II Party!

It's that time of year again...

On Friday, June 1st, we kicked off our Landing II summer celebration with a 4th of July Planning meeting.


Of course, in good neighborhood style, we managed to work in a little socializing as well....


Thanks to Steele and Cristel Covington and Mike and Sharon Boyle for setting up the potluck in front of their homes. Just in case you were wondering, Emerald Rules!


It was also wonderful seeing so many new faces among the old friends in the crowd. The best part of living in Landing II is the community atmosphere. It's great to see that the tradition is continuing.


During the business portion of the meeting, we reviewed last year's event and discussed any possible changes.
Most events will be staying the same except for a few changes:

-New Carnival Games!  

This year, we will be setting up a Carnival Game area on Emerald with rented games. Families may sponsor a game for $50 (this includes the prizes) Of course, you will still be able to host a game at your home if you prefer. This is just another way to get involved. Jackie Michaels will be sending out more information soon.

-Dinner will be catered by Beach Pit BBQ!

Beach Pit will be bringing the great food from their restaurants to our neighborhood. They'll even set up a mobile grill to do some of the cooking on site! Final menu details are still being worked out. Please contact Ellen Bell if you have any special needs or requests.

-Musical entertainment provided by local band, "Pinch Me"!

This seven piece band plays all the best dance hits and knows how to get the party started.

Even if you're not coming to the dinner, you may want to stop by and dance the night away!

-New Ticket Prices

In order to provide these upgrades and to keep up with rising expenses, we decided to raise the price of the tickets a bit. The new ticket prices for 2012 will be:

$12 for a Block Party Day Ticket  (includes the parade, games, ponies, hot dog deli & frisbee golf)

$25 for Block Party  Plus Catered Dinner Dance

$15 for kids under 12 ( who eat like kids under 12....:-) ) for Block Party and Dinner

Kids under 5 are free with a paying adult.

It's still a great bargain for a fun-filled day of activities...right in your own neighborhood!

So get excited Landing II! This year's celebration is shaping up to be one of the best!

Another Great 4th!

We did it again!

Once again our neighborhood pulled together and put on a great party.

This all started years ago, when an industrious neighbor, Phyllis Robison, organized community events for Landing 2. Phyllis, and her next door neighbor Sharla Sharpnik, put on an amazing 4th of July party for years, as well as the End of the School Year Ice Cream Social and the Halloween Party. I'll never forget seeing her walk around in a pumpkin costume, leading everyone with her trusty megaphone. 

When Tim and I moved moved here in 1994, we were amazed by all of the wonderful activities and community spirit of this special neighborhood. Phyllis was looking for a break from her years of organizing, so Suzanne Kiley and I volunteered to carry the torch. 14 years later, this incredible celebration is stronger than ever due to the continued participation of the people who live here.

Every year, I am so inspired by my neighbors. Everyone pitches in, enjoys old friends and welcomes new ones. We are all so lucky to live here and I hope that we never lose the community connection that everyone has worked so hard to preserve.

Thank you ALL for another great year
