You can always count on the Piney Creek Women’s League’s (PCWL) annual Independence Day celebration to be a wonderful, family-friendly event. It is the PCWL’s only fundraising opportunity of the year, so it is rewarding to see everyone in the community support these hard-working women. Of course, who can resist an old-fashioned picnic – sniffing the aroma of grilling hot dogs, while reconnecting with old friends at the park. It was especially gratifying to see three generations of the Riddle family – Cindy and John, Cindy’s parents, Pat and Nolan Drury, and one of the three Riddle sons, Josh – who have made this an annual must-attend family event ever year.
While the first stop for the kids is almost always the dunk tank and bouncing castle, these popular spots had new competition this year – free face painting by PCWL member, Sandy Myers.
Arapahoe County Sheriff’s deputies, Amir Stephen and his partner, Brian McKnight, were on hand to help with crowd control and to mingle with the public. This is a great public service that the sheriff’s department provides us every year. It was so great to see the deputies mingling with our young guests, and as a result of this social exposure, the children hopefully came away with a new perspective and a newfound respect of law enforcement.
Of course, one of the biggest highlights of the day was Buckley Air National Guard’s fly-over. It was a thrill to look up and see three jets flying over the Piney Creek clubhouse! A quick tip of the wings and they were off into the wild blue yonder.

Hats off to event chairperson, Cindy Reagan. Cindy and her group of hard working volunteers did a great job of running a well-organized and safe event. We are looking forward to July 4, 2010!
