Join HPNC on July 4th

Get a Bigger Bang for your Buck!

Stop by our Hyde Park Neighborhood Council (HPNC) Membership Booth at the July 4th Celebration in Ault Park to earn cool rewards for joining HPNC -- and to buy one of the hot new Hyde Park t-shirts.

Membership in HPNC is open to anyone who lives, works, or owns a business in Hyde Park. Still only $10 per year, membership includes voting privileges, notices of special meetings, invitations to HPNC events, the HPNC print newsletter, our e-newsletter (to be launched in early fall), the knowledge that you are supporting one of the most effective neighborhood councils in the city, and now -- if you join on July 4th or at the Blast events on June 27 -- three chances on our Bigger Bang for your Buck membership raffle. First prize is a $300 gift certificate toward a wine making at Tino Vino Vintners, in east Hyde Park. Second prize, also donated by Tino Vino, is a gift basket that includes a bottle of Tino Vino's Zinzinnati Zinfandel, their medal-winning California Reisling, gourmet chocolates, and a wine tool kit (a $60.00 value). You must be 21 or older to participate in the raffle. Additional tickets or raffle tickets only (without a membership) may be purchased for $5.00 each.

HPNC's new t-shirts, on sale at the July 4th events, let you show your neighborhood pride with style. A limited edition of two different Hyde Park t-shirts will be available in a range of men's and women's sizes, for the special introductory price of $13.00.

The July 4th Concert and Fireworks Celebration in Ault Park, organized this year by Give Back Cincinnati, begins at 5:00 p.m. Come early to stake out your spot on the Concert Green, enjoy Cincinnati favorites from the vendors, relax with friends and family, and, of course, get your HPNC membership, raffle tickets, and t-shirts! The Duncans and Never 7 will be on stage and providing entertainment until the fireworks go off, around 10:00 p.m.

Children's Bike Parade - 10 a.m. on July 4th in Ault Park

This traditional kickoff for the Ault Park Independence Day Celebration begins at 10 a.m. Kids of all ages are invited to decorate their bikes, scooters, or other non-motorized vehicles to show their patriotic spirit and compete for prizes!
