Swingin' Summer Eve attracts a record crowd

Shoreline's annual party, Swingin' Summer Eve, attracted a record crowd to Paramount Park on a very warm Wednesday, July 21. Photo by Steven H. Robinson.

The event is a city event, staged by the Shoreline Parks department.

The CERT volunteers ran out of hot dogs twice, and the ice cream truck ran out of ice cream.

CERT volunteers bought twice as many hot dogs as last year and still ran out.  Photo by DH.

The Council of Neighborhoods sold hundreds of books.

Some started reading their books immediately.

Others visited with friends.

Melissa Banker knew what neighborhood she lived in but wasn't on the mailing list.  Lee Michaelis signed her up to receive information about her neighborhood.
