    • Yard games at the Grant Drive block party for Night to Unite included balls and bubbles for the kids, like Grace and Gianna Scott, plus cornhole, flying discs and even tennis balls for the dogs to fetch.
    • Rick Anderson, Gordon Williams, and Tony LeClerc engaged in some neighborly visiting by the grills at the Grant Drive Night to Unite block party. LeClerc, along with Nicki Winter, was a co-host of the party.
    • Block party co-hosts Nicki Winter and Tony LeClerc set up a drop-off station for neighbors’ PROP donations at the Grant Drive block party. The Eden Prairie Fire Department collected the donations when the fire truck paid a visit to the party.
