The annual event is a Ridgecrest’s way of Celebrating Shoreline within the neighborhood. The evening activities included the consumption of over 40 gallons of ice cream and an hour-long concert by The Around the Sound Community Band.
Joining in the fun were the Pirates of Treasure Island and representatives from Shoreline Police and Fire Departments.

Children worked off the calories they consumed by spending most of the evening playing on 2 huge inflatables. And citizens found a way to give back by donating 177 pounds of non-perishable food to HopeLink.
