Um, this summer, at least, you know, for our area, seemed extra busy to me, and, and I, I know you're out and about.
Did this summer seem very active to you, just the amount of events and people doing things?
You know, fellas and ladies and gentlemen that's listening to the show, and thank y'all for tuning into the show each and every week.
This has been one very, very busy summer for not just events, but it was, like, everything around us.
But I will say if I had to grade myself and all the organizations that did all the summer events, you know, of course with the, the biggest one I did, of course, was Play Streets with Rasheema, uh, Mr. Ronald Dixon, the Rasheema Dixon Foundation, where every Tuesday we were in different locations around the city and did, like, a pop-up block party.
And we, we did a, what we call a debrief, and we found out that we fed nearly 3,000 kids-
... from June 30th all the way to August 29th, August 26th, when we concluded the event in Rodney Square.
Of course, we partnered with, you know, Park- the city's Wilmington Parks and Recreation, and shout out to Dr. Phillips and the whole crew over there for the amazing work they did with us helping us out.
But, you know, I was able to stand on that stage, and I think, Dave, me and you talked about that.
