Community spirit on the block

‘I Love My Neighborhood’ block party expected to be biggest yet

2010 Block Party

The 11th annual block party, hosted by the Center for Children & Families, Inc. (CCFI) Neighborhood Centers program, will take place this Saturday from noon to 2 p.m., rain or shine, on Peters Street- in and around Trinity Baptist Church’s parking lot.  

“This free community event has been a decade long tradition,” said CCFI Senior Program Specialist, Jessica Hutchinson. “Having support from the community is important for Norman’s youth and every year we host the event we see more and more people coming to celebrate and create neighborhood connections.” 

Involvement for the block party is at an all-time high with more than 35 local businesses and organizations participating and hosting activities and booths for all ages. Kids will be able to bounce from moonwalks to slides, make crafts, have their faces painted, enjoy free food, treats, and live music from the Katie Tracy Band.  The Wilson Elementary and Trinity Baptist Childrens’ Choir will also perform. There will also be an opportunity to win more than a dozen gift certificates and other prizes.


This event is free and open to all residents, for more information go to www.ccfinorman.org/blockparty or call (405) 364-1420.
