The Dog Days of Summer was an Outstanding Event for Northeast Park!
The party was everything NEPNA Leadership had hoped it would be – a way to celebrate the beginning of summer with hundreds of our neighbors making new friends and enjoying the great food and activities provided by our generous sponsors (listed below). Suffice it to say that this will become an annual event – and it won’t be the last party NEPNA hosts!
[Soapbox] This party is emblematic of what NEPNA Leadership envisions for Northeast Park. It was amazing to see hundreds of our neighbors coming together for a positive event. We live in a fantastic neighborhood – and can focus our talents on making our streets more pedestrian friendly; improving two of the best parks in the city; designating our neighborhood with distinctive signage, lamp posts, and public art; or planning our next big event …
And now a message from our sponsors …

Tour de Pizza – Our local pizza shop in NE Shopping Center donated over 320 slices of their addictive pizza and 200 garlic knots.
Council Member Leslie Curran – Volunteered to provide arts and crafts materials for children, which became so popular, she had to rush out and purchase more supplies!
