Legion Manor Post Falls Block Party - Neighbors Actually Do Mend Fences!
A Neighborhood that mends fences together becomes a great place to live!
The Story Starts Out Like This:
A kid from another neighborhood comes through my subdivision and decides to kick the tar out of our community fence. You can see the damage below. He decided to kick something out of each section, creating as much damage as possible. He was caught about 4:00 in the morning and booked into juvenile hall.
The Rest Of The Story:
I was able to organize my neighbors with two goals in mind. 1) Fix the fence before it sits forever unrepaired and further deteriorates, and 2) Create an opportunity for everyone to come together and get to know each other ... A Block Party!
So the date was set, and about half of the residents showed up. It was an awesome community building event!

90% of the fence restored in about 1 hour! The power of a group effort.
After fixing the fence we had a barbeque in the street!
... and we are planning for next years Block Party!
