The highlight of LBWN’s annual neighborhood gathering was the opportunity for participants to share their personal stories with neighbors in small breakout groups. The room buzzed as each person in the circle spent a few minutes talking about his or her life.

Community members of all ages and backgrounds came together at the annual event at 1501 S. Layton Blvd. In addition to enjoying a community dinner, participants were able to cast their votes in the Love Where You Live photo contest, followed by treats and refreshments. Winners of the most improved home contest also were announced.
