Independence Day Parade and Picnic

KGCL, , , , , ,

King’s Grant Community League will host its annual Independence Day parade and picnic beginning at 11am on Tuesday, July 4th.  The event is easy to enjoy… just show up and have fun.

KGCL really wants your participation in whatever transportation mode suits your interest:  bikes, strollers, golf carts, wagons, lawn mowers, vintage vehicles, decorated vehicles, tractors, fire trucks, motorcycles, or just walk.  Tell your neighbors.  Assemble in Blue Ridge Court across from Witt Park at 10:45am.

KGCL will give each child 12 years old or younger a large patriotic pinwheel for participating.  We will also award prizes in our bicycle decorating contest.

Help Light Witt Park

KGCL, , ,

holiday-lights-signThe King’s Grant Community League will place holiday lights in Witt Park on Kings Grant Road next weekend (December 3-4).  Much of the work is simple – installing the light strings on the shrubbery.  Some of the other work is a bit more complicated as it involves hanging our lighted stars in the trees.  We invite our King’s Grant neighbors to come lend a hand with whatever you feel comfortable doing.  We will also hang our Christmas wreaths at the community entrance walls in Kings Grant Road.  We will work in two sessions:  Saturday from 9:00-11:00am and Sunday from 1:00-3:00pm.  Your King’s Grant Community League annual membership dues make this annual display possible.
