Face Painting and Fun!
Sunday, October 24, 2010

TownFolk Co-Director Jillian Johnson and her old art school pal Alyce LaBry spent yesterday afternoon at J. Wallace James Park painting faces (and arms and legs) during the Bridge Neighborhood Association Family Fun Day. This group covers the neighborhood just north of ours on the other side of the railroad tracks.

Bridge put together a great event with food games and prizes for children and adults and the weather was fantastic. Thanks to all who helped make it happen.

We are still glowing after the wonderful clean-up day and tree planting on Saturday, October 16. In just a few hours (and with the help of lots of residents, UL Students and Americorps volunteers) we were able to:

• Pick up 161 bags of litter on 72 blocks in our neighborhhood

• Plant 48 Crepe Myrtles at the St. Antoine Street Cemetery

• Plant 57 trees at J. Wallace James park, including Bald Cypress, Italian Cypress, Live Oak, Japanese Magnolia, Orange, Blueberry, Kumquat and Fig

• Coordinate with the Sheriff's Office for the pick-up of large items placed at the curb throughout the neighborhood
