Dear Newport Hills Residents,The Newport Hills Community Club, the Newport Hills Community Church, the City of Bellevue and local merchants host an annual 4th of July Celebration in Newport Hills. Festivities include a children’s parade, an old fashioned picnic, live performances, field games, arts, Dizzy’s Tumble Bus & lots of fun in the traditional Newport Hills Park!
This traditional and exciting event begins with Ed Raftery in his 1928 all original Model A Ford Roadster Pick-up leading the children’s parade with decorated bikes, trikes, wagons and strollers around the track at Bellevue’s Middle School (formerly Eastside Catholic High School). Children, family and friends are invited to participate in this fun event. After the parade, hamburgers, hot dogs, cheese quesadillas and other delicious picnic dishes are prepared and served up by your Newport Hills volunteers. Popcorn compliments of Newport Hills Bank of America. A very special THANKS to our local Mustard Seed Sports Bar & Grill, Newport Hill’s Chevron for their continued and generous donations which help sustain and cheer on this fantastic neighborhood event!
As part of Newport Hill’s annual celebration of the Fourth of July, the Newport Hills Community Church choir members perform a wonderful selection of old time favorites and patriotic songs followed by local performing artists (Cornerstone Dance Theater & Belize dancers), martial arts (Lee’s Martial Arts), various booths and our local cub scouts chapter.
Fun activities during the Picnic include: bouncy house(s), water balloons, face painting, kid’s games, sports, Dizzy’s Tumble Bus, various display booths and our neighbor, Attorney General Rob McKenna may be joining us to flip burgers and chat with neighbors. PLUS a potential visit from the Fire Department with a real fire engine. Frisbees, tug-of-war and other fun games are also popular with the kids.
Come celebrate the 4th of July (ON SATURDAY, JULY 3rd) 
!
A HUGE THANK YOU to all of the neighbors (past and present) who made our 4th of July an enjoyable community event in the past! The success of our annual 4th of July event is a reflection of the shared community involvement which many of us experience here in Newport Hills. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Suggestion: In past years the NHCC has had political candidates appear at club meetings.
I see in todays paper that Sen Fred Jarrett is going to run for County Executive.
I suggest you invite him and other candidates to have information booths at the 4th of July picnic as well as to a general meeting.
As a committee member for 30 years I think tonights meeting was very good in all respects.
Thanks for all you do.
