May 31st - Cherrydale Neighborhood Yard Sale!
Time to clean out your closets, attics, basement and garages so you can make room for all the stuff you’re going to buy at the Cherrydale Yard Sale! This annual event is a lot of fun and a huge success, often with more than 70 homes participating. These are yard sales that citizens throughout Cherrydale have in front of their own homes. Cherrydalers Scott and Kathy Springston put all participating homes on a map which is distributed to all homes hosting a sale. We advertise in the Washington Post and put up lots of signs and pie plates directing people to your sale. Contact Scott and Kathy Springston or call them at (703) 528-1548 to let them know if you want to be included in the sale no later than a week before the yard sale. Give them your address and pay the $5 donation or you won’t get on the map. Make checks payable to Cherrydale Citizens Association. You can drop off check or cash to 1713 N. Quebec St.
July 4th - Independence Day Block Party Celebration! Put on your patriotic red, white, and blue party outfits, cook up your favorite family side dishes, and head on up the hill to 21st St. at N. Stafford St. for Cherrydale’s 2008 4th of July and National Fireworks Party! Cherrydale’s old-fashioned neighborhood block party is a “pot-luck” supper and is the place to be on July 4th. Several BBQ grills will be fired up cooking an assortment of delicious meats, a professional DJ will be serving up tunes for dancing in the streets, and there will be endless entertainment for the kids including a Rocket Blaster moon bounce, an old-fashioned tree swing, and a Cherrydale fire truck, along with flavored snow cones, and lots of party favors and patriotic trinkets. The party begins at 6:00 p.m. and ends in a spirited high note with a fantastic view of the National Fireworks over the Washington Monument and DC skyline to the inspiring sounds of patriotic music. This party is open to all Cherrydale residents and invited guests and is absolutely free! Please contribute to this wonderful family event by bringing a family favorite side-dish to share with others. We hope to see everyone on the 4th of July to celebrate our National Independence Day with the community, neighbors, and friends.
