National Night Out Tuesday, October 6
We won't be able to host our party in the park this year. We can still show our appreciation for first responders, and we're making it easy for you, neighbors! RNNA will provide red, white and blue ribbons to show appreciation for our first responders. Volunteers will tie the ribbons on your trees, or you may opt to have the supplies delivered to your home and do your own decorating. Click below for more details and to sign up. The deadline to sign up is noon tomorrow (Friday). |

1) Tell us about yourself and your family. I am originally from Abilene, TX and have lived in Fort Worth since 1974. I am semi-retired. I continue to create a new life since my husband died in 2011.
2) How long have you lived in Ridglea North? My late husband, John, and I moved to Kenwick Avenue in late October 1998. I can’t believe I’ve lived here 22 years! Before moving here we moved every nine years. 3) What’s your favorite neighborhood activity or event? I love the annual membership/National Night Out event in Berney Park. I’m looking forward to being able to once again celebrate together.

4) What’s your favorite thing to do in Fort Worth? There are so many things to do in Fort Worth it’s hard to pick one. I love the Stock Show & Rodeo, Main Street Arts Festival and having the Turkey Trot come down my street.
5) What’s your best advice on being a good neighbor? Get to know your neighbors, be friendly and willing to help when needed. I love my Kenwick block. I call it a 21st Century Norman Rockwell neighborhood where everyone knows each other! |
