July 4, 2016 in South Ardmore - what a fun time we had!

7/6/2016

SABA would like to thank the hundreds of neighbors and friends who turned up for the July 4th parade and festivities this year, but we would especially like to thank the dedicated volunteers who made the event run so smoothly! Ticket-takers, hot dog cookers, water ice scoopers, Big Splash bucket-fillers, field game starters, set-up crew...it was due to your enthusiastic and patient assistance that the rest of us had so much fun.

One dedicated SABA member and officer, Ed Magargee, created a video
collage of the day, linked below. Enjoy it!

Celebrate July 4th in South Ardmore!

Our bike parade will leave from Chestnutwold Elementary at 10:00am and end up at Elwell Field, where the festivities will begin with a "best-decorated" bike/stroller/wagon contest.
