Neighbors gather for a potluck and movie night in Windsor Village
The Windsor Village potluck and movie night on Aug. 3 was a hit! Neighbors visited, played games and shared food in the Ninth Street cul-de-sac across from Harold Henry Park.
FAMILIES enjoyed watching Disney / Pixar’s “Ratatouille” on the lawn at Harold Henry Park.
Windsor Village Association (WVA) President Barbara Pflaumer and WVA Vice President Heather Brel welcomed all who attended. They introduced neighbors and made sure young children had art supplies to use while parents chatted.
Windsor Villagers brought an array of homemade and store-bought foods to share, and Elvis, a well-known and well-loved neighborhood dog, “manned” the buffet table for nearly half an hour (politely only partaking in what he was given).
Families then brought blankets and lawn chairs over to the park for a screening of Disney / Pixar’s 2007 movie “Ratatouille.”
“RATATOUILLE” plays on the screen for neighbors.
There was plenty of popcorn for all, and laughter filled the air among the neighbors gathered together under the stars.
The Windsor Village Association strives to host three movie nights a year at Harold Henry Park. Weeks ahead of the free events, WVA board members ensure flyers reach every neighborhood door so that all will feel welcome.
Big city feels smaller
“The park movies are a great way to bring neighbors together and make a big city feel smaller through shared interests and experiences,” said Brel.

She believes that strengthening neighborhood connections increases effective community action in times of need — whether that be working to improve the safety of our streets, taking a meal to an ailing neighbor, lending a hand during a global pandemic or disseminating critical information about emergency preparedness.
“We are a stronger community through the connections established by these types of social events,” she said.
NEIGHBORHOOD dog Elvis supervised the food table.
