The
first of four
Neighborhood Summer Festivals sponsored by Mayor Edward M. Lambert,
Jr. took place at Abbott Court Park in the City's South End on July 11,
2006. The Festivals began as a Neighborhood Council project and have
become a corner piece of summer fun in Fall River. They provide an
opportunity for neighbors to meet each other in a fun environment, as
well as heart-healthy activities and good food. Human service
organizations including the Family
Service Association, the
Fall River Police Department,
the Girl Scouts of Southeastern
Massachusetts, and Community Development Recreation
are also on hand with information and fun activities. Other festivals were
scheduled for July 18th at Ruggles Park, July 25th at Lafayette Park and
August 1st at Maplewood Park. For further information about these
events, contact Community Coordinator
Maureen Estes at 508-324-2405.
