Our 2nd Annual Hoyne Block Party will be Saturday, August 15, 2009. Please save the date and get in on your calendar now!!

We are so proud of our 1st block party and want to thank each and everyone of you for attending, preparing, setting up/breaking down, shopping, and donating your time, money and energy to make it a huge success! We couldn’t have asked for better weather and even got to see the air and water show from our block!! We hope you had a great time and made new friends.
