Greenacres Celebrates July 4th

The Greenacres Neighborhood Association hosted its annual July 4th celebration at the Greenacres Elementary School field on a steamy Independence Day. Residents enjoyed breakfast followed by old-fashioned fun for kids and adults of all ages. On the line-up were spoon races, 3-legged sack races, dashes and a candy hunt.

The patriotic program included greetings from Mayor Bob Steves and County Executive Rob Astorino. The Scarsdale Fire Department brought their water cannon to cool everyone off during the famous Greenacres Gallop.

The ever popular balloon toss contest concluded an enjoyable start to the holiday for many families in the Greenacres neighborhood.
