"Celebrate Hardy Brinly Park"

Picnic in the Park 2013 - Come One, Come All!!
 

The 2013 Picnic-In-The-Park scheduled for June 15

A citizens committee chaired by resident Brad Ricca is now in the process of planning the annual picnic held in Hardy Brinly Park. It was decided that this years event will be held on June 15th instead of the July dates used in the past. Brad and his committee menbers are doing a great job planning a lot of new fun events to make the picnic even more fun than in past years.

A new band is scheduled for this year. The local group "Butch Kaufman and Friendz" will perform in the gazebo from 7 - 9 PM. Butch Kaufman is the former lead singer for the Monarchs, the group who recorded the hit single "Look Homeward Angel". It should be a fun and entertaining evening. Stay tuned for more information on this years event.

'tis the Season

No matter which holiday you celebrate....Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza....I think you would enjoy seeing the colorful lights that adorn our gazebo in Hardy Brinly Park. This is the second winter for our gazebo but the first being decorated for the holidays.

 A couple of weeks ago a family was seen having a very nice family portrait taken in our gazebo. Now, more than ever, would be a great time to have family pictures taken with the lights in the background. The lights come on each evening at 5:30 PM.

A Lovely Winter in Brinly Park

In February 2010 Louisville received quite a bit of snow. The snowflakes were huge and the snow was deep but some of the Woodland Hills kids took advantage of a day off from school. Here is a slideshow of some pictures taken in Woodland Hills' Brinly Park the day of that snow fall.

Tommy's mother, Kathleen Henninger says that Tommy "did play on the 10U East Louisville Bats team" over the summer.

For the upcoming summer of 2013 "he will be playing on the 11U Louisvlle Shockers.  He plays 3rd, 1st, and pitches".

Tommy has been playing baseball since the age of 5 and began playing competitively since he was 7.  "His coach of the new team (Louisville Shockers) is Tony Wagner."

The Louisville Bats team is a competitve traveling team through East Louisville Sports which is based in Middletown's Crosby Park.

The Louisville Shockers is a competitive team that is not affiliated with a league but is a local team started by Tony Wagner honoring his late brother Andy who played for the original Shockers.

Tommy and his new team will play locally and in away tournaments.  "He loves the Louisville Bats and his favorite team is the Reds. He is hoping to make the Crosby baseball team next year and then hopefully go on to play at Eastern. It would be a family dream if he can play ball at UK. This family loves baseball!"

Winding Up!

Arm Back!

He Throws!

Right to the catcher!

The Woodland Hills city council thinks that Tommy was a great kid to represent our city.
Way to go Tommy! We couldn't be more proud!
