Thanks for a Great 10th Annual Picnic-in-the-Park!

Thanks to the more than 300 Green Meadows West neighborhood homeowner-members who participated in the 10th Annual Picnic in the Park event, which was held in Dover Park last week!

While adults relaxed and listened to live music from The Nancy's, kids ran and played on inflatable play equipment, including a bounce house, obstacle course, and giant slide. There was also volleyball, and face-painting!

The Johnston Fire Department stopped by to give tours of a truck and ambulance. And the Johnston Public Library staff showed off their new pedal-powered Bookmobile! (Or should that be "Bikemobile?")

Catering was by Hy-Vee Foods. Thanks also to event sponsors, Charter Bank and Flooring America!
