Cape Story’s 15th Annual Spring Fling
After having to postpone once, the weather was beautiful for our 15th annual Spring Fling. About 100 children and parents enjoyed food and fun. In fact, we ate 140 hamburgers and 100 hot dogs during the three hour event. DJ Dave from Astro DJs kept the party shaking with rockin’ tunes and games. Miss Kitty from Bobby the Clown Agency was kept very busy making great balloon animals and painting unique designs on many smiling faces. Snow cones and popcorn where graciously provided by LYNN HUME, RE/MAX Allegiance. Residents also enjoyed chips, salads and drinks courtesy of the Cape Story by the Sea Civic Association. Yummy desserts, salads and fruit were also brought and shared by neighbors. Many kids and parents got wet competing in the water balloon toss and tested their strength at the tug-o-war. Parents even got into the festivities by competing in the sack race. Winners of the events were rewarded with gift certificates to AMC and Regal theatres.
Event winners were:
Additional Spring Fling Thank You!!!
Thanks to Chris Doddy and Don Lawson keeping up with the hungry crowds by cooking up the burgers and dogs. A special thanks goes to the many volunteers, Teri Doddy, Jenifer & Kyra Solomon, Empsy Munden, Billy Tetlak, Alex Groover, Quinn Wiess, Sara Lant and John & Lorraine Anderson for set-up, serving and clean-up.
Current forecast show Virginia Beach in a Thunder Storm Warning area. Rather than risk setting up and getting washed out or dangerous lightening conditions, we have decided to hold the Spring Fling on the rain date of Sunday May 26, 2013. Here is the new date/time information. Weather predictions look good for next week with 73F and 0% chance of rain, but of course it’s stil 7 days away.
SEE YOU THERE

Cape Story residents are concerned that the City’s interim plug is in the wrong spot and will not protect all 40 homes in the tidal flooding zone.
