The Town of Vienna Parks and Recreation Department picked the ideal sultry summer day – July 31 - for its first-ever Big Splash on the Town Green. Hundreds of children came by to slide down water slides, play balloon toss, dance to rock music, have their faces painted, and run through sprinklers. On top of the water fun, was a bounce house and raffle prizes at no cost to enter. The children came dressed in bathing suits, ready for water fun.
Paid-staff and volunteers supervised the event and encouraged participation in games and entertainment.
Girl Scout Troop 2387 from Falls Church volunteered to paint faces and members of the Teen Council of Club Phoenix, the teen center’s service arm, took charge over water activities. A ONO shave-ice truck sold multi-colored icees.
