Euclid Beach Blast was just that!

-Hey Adopt-a-Beachers!

The Euclid Beach Blast! was a great success last Saturday! All tolled throughout the day we had close to 450 attendees having a blast watching pop up art take shape on "the wall of doors", cleaning the beach (and picking up 200 pounds of trash!), building a sandcastle and catching some rays, watching a jump rope troop hop in all the way from Africa, chalking the sidewalk, learning about watershed preservation, chowing down on a Cuban sandwich from Jibaro World Eats Food Truck, biking and planting gardens around Collinwood and most importantly jamming to some music from 106.5 The Lake, Radio Disney and live performances from Bill Meyer, Andriana Santiago and Grupo Son Gitano! Visit our Facebook page for Blast! pictures and video! We could not have had such a great event without the help of many dedicated Euclid Beach Adopt-a-Beach volunteers who spent hours in the hot sun on Saturday keeping everything cool! Thank you again to everyone who came out to volunteer on Saturday! Thank you also to all of our participating pop up artists! You can see the "the wall of doors" or the "Blank Canvas" at this Saturday's Walk All Over Waterloo Event! It will be displayed in the Arts Collinwood Gallery.

Another thank you to all of our partners, sponsoring and participating organizations who helped to make The Euclid Beach Blast! a reality!
