This month: Best of Bridgeland!
What happened when a group of local residents interested in community and local business connected with their Community Social Worker, Community Association, and local businesses about an idea to celebrate both? Last month in Bridgeland, the end result was a fantastic street festival that involved over 30 local businesses and hundreds of residents, celebrating their community and businesses. Furthermore, due to the recent flood we will hear from and about the Bridgeland businesses that responded immediately and generously to needs in their community.
