Caroling: A Whopping Success!!!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to help pull off our "Caroling on a Flat Bed" event as well as the "Cookie Exchange" afterward. It was a roaring success. What did you think? What did you enjoy most? What was most memorable? The 24 foot flatbed truck was looking wildly festive and full of residents too. We had a good-sized initial crowd of Cordova Towners and then we also added between 8-10 other residents throughout the neighborhood as people climbed aboard to join us. It was nice to see kids smile, families come outside to listen, watch folks waving from inside, not to mention, getting to embody joy and have such great fun with neighbors. Of course many of our vocal chords were tired come Sunday morning, but it was all worth it. This was an outstanding community building event for our neighborhood and it brought something festive and special to Cordova Towne. Way to go everyone!!!!


Sorry if we were not able to pass your street while caroling. Next year we will have a better sense of how to pace the truck, when to stop, how long to stop for, etc.. This was our rookie year and so it was a learning experience in that regard.

View nearly 100 event pictures on our neighborhood picture site. And as always, if you find yourself in a picture and you'd rather not have your photo online, please let us know and we'll gladly take it down.

View a video below from our event. It is very dark, but that's indicative of an event at night and also not much illumination from street lights. One more video HERE too. Enjoy.
