Packi Bunn raises the piñata. More than 75 people turned out on Sunday, September 5 as residents of Claydon Road held their first block party. Neighbors and guests enjoyed a jumping castle, deejay, piñata, pie-eating contest, water balloon toss and several other games and activities from noon until 10 p.m. Thanks go to Bob and June Fanning and Linda and Dennis Sweeney for getting the ball rolling.
