For the ninth year people will gather in Holding Park Sunday for free food, fun, music and games – and to underscore the ideals of good neighbors and neighborliness that have been a hallmark of life in Wake Forest.
The event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, and every family and individual in town is invited. The event is sponsored by the Wake Forest Human Relations Council.
Good Neighbor Day brings together people from all walks of life. By bringing together a mix of cultures, music, ages and ethnicities, the event celebrates diversity and promotes goodwill among all of Wake Forest’s citizens.
A special part of this year’s Good Neighbor Day will be the presentation of the fifth annual “Good Neighbor of the Year” award. The honor will be presented to one local youth and one adult who consistently demonstrate an unfailing commitment to preserving, maintaining and improving the quality of life in their neighborhood and community. The winners are also honored by plaques in town hall. Neighbors and friends nominate people who improve the quality of life in town through their actions and words.
Nearly 2,500 Wake Forest-area residents have participated in Good Neighbor Day since it was begun in 2006.
The rain date for the event is Sunday, Sept. 28.
