Celebration of Community
2013 – Save the Date
Sunday, May 5, 2013
1pm - 4:00pm
Celebration of Community is a biennial event, free and open to all Blake families. Destination Stations reflecting a variety of traditions, talents, interests, and cultures are hosted by individuals, families and groups in the Blake community. This event provides the broader community with an opportunity to experience and celebrate Blake’s often multi-faceted community. It’s a special afternoon of food tastings, activities, and experiences. In 2009 attendance reached nearly 1,000, included over 30 destination stations, featured lively entertainment and generated countless conversations, but only five bags of non-compostable trash (thanks to the Blake “Green Team”).
