The latest Fresh Fridays block party welcomed neighbors and newcomers on March 4.

The monthly event did up its "Neighbors and Newcomers" theme with floral and Hawaiian attire. Volunteers and staff passed out glow rings for people to wear as accessories. Attendees picked up drinks and chicken wings and proceeded to dance the night away.
