On October 8 the CIDNA neighborhood hosted its Fall Festival at Park Siding Park. The great fall weather made for a turnout of about 150 people. Featured events included an ARTrageous Adventures bike decorating station, Mr. Fun Zone, live music by Marina Capri Music, Sebastian Joe’s make your own sundae station and the return of the bike parade. CIDNA unveiled its new website (cidna.org) and offered sweatshirts and CIDNA coffee mugs for donation. In honor of the 25th anniversary, attendees had the option to complete a CIDNA trivia “quiz.” The winner of the $100 Taberna gift card was Nancy Nikora.

Thank you to our volunteers for staffing the pop-up face painting station that was a hit with the kids. We are also grateful to the local businesses that donated gift cards and food for the event. Finally, a very special thank you to the Urban Eatery, which provided a $20 gift card to every adult who attended the event. Let’s remember all of our local businesses, and shop or eat there when we can. They help make our neighborhood a wonderful place!

If you attended the event, or you didn’t and you want to support the work of CIDNA, please consider a donation to help support these events in the future: http://cidna.org/connect/
