Fireworks And Fun On July 4th

Thousands of people crowded the Scarsdale Pool on June 29th to watch the spectacular and beloved fireworks show. The fireworks were visible from Crossway and Boulder Brook Field, which unsurpisingly were also packed with people. The Independence Day festivities continued at the Scarsdale Pool Carnival on July 4th. With the help of a DJ, lifeguards and swim instructors, there was a fun day of many activities including freestyle swimming races, parent-child swimming relay races, kick board races, donut float races, and a penny hunt. For those kids who were not aquatically inclined, there was a free-throw basketball competition and a giant blow up slide for them to enjoy. With extra staff on hand, there was individual face painting and Fourth of July themed temporary tattoo application. The kids loved the events and especially loved seeing lifeguards dressed as some of their favorite animated characters, Dory from Finding Dory, and Chase from Paw Patrol. In the spirit of the Fourth of July, there was also a lifeguard dressed as Uncle Sam. It was a fun-filled day for all!
