When is Cheverly Day 2016?

It hasn't even been a week yet, but we've already been asked about the date for our 85th Anniversary Celebration. Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 21, 2016! 

Look back at our 80th Anniversary Parade and Cheverly Day 2011 here, and start planning your float or contribution to the big event! We'll also be looking for lots of volunteers to help with all aspects of Cheverly Day 2016...visit with us at Cheverly Community Market on May 31 to find out how you can get involved.

Thank you to EVERYONE who came out for Cheverly Day 2015!

We've posted photos from a wonderful Cheverly Day 2015 here.
UPDATE: Photos from CHVRun 2015 are now posted to this album, too!

Did you know that 2016 marks the 85th anniversary of our town? We'll celebrate with a big parade and pull out all the stops for Cheverly Day 2016...start thinking about next year's parade and 85th Anniversary celebration, and visit us at Cheverly Community Market on Saturday, May 30, to find out how you can get involved!

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who came out for Cheverly Day 2015! Even though the afternoon had some rain, we still got to enjoy fireworks with everyone at the end of the day...and what great fireworks we had!

Thanks again to Joseph Smith & Sons for their sponsorship of Cheverly Day 2015 fireworks!

Wer will be posting photos from the entire day soon, but for now, enjoy a taste of what we saw last night...and start thinking about the 2016 parade!

Is it going to rain? Maybe.

Hey CheverlyDay people -- Wendy get some rain. If we do, please proceed into the Community Center until the storm passes. Thank you!

It's Cheverly Day!

Nothing like the finale from last year's fireworks to start off Cheverly Day 2015!

We can't wait to share the whole day with you! Catch us on Twitter and share your tweets with everyone by including #CheverlyDay. Get the full schedule here (they're posted throughout Town Park, too)

There's so much to do today, and we're looking forward to every moment. Hop on our Cheverly Day Circulator Bus, and we'll see you at Town Park!

A Message from Mayor Mike Callahan

Cheverlians,

Welcome to Cheverly Day 2015! It is my sincerest hope that each and every Cheverly resident comes by Town Park on May16th to say "Hello" to their neighbors and meet new friends.

And why wouldn't you? Once again the Cheverly Day Committee has provided us with a wonderful line-up of activities for people of all ages. We have a tremendous line-up of musicians to providing great entertainment throughout the day. Children of all ages will love the Mid-Way, Miniature Golf Course, Laser Tag, Dunk Tank and the Ping Pong Ball Flume. Adults will have the opportunity to play Softball, Corn Hole, Horseshoes, FoosBall and of course, stop and socialize in the Beer Garden.

There should be a moratorium on "home cooking" throughout town -- eat at Town Park and feast on the great food choices available. Old standards like Good Times Catering, Funnel Cakes and Simple Pleasures Ice Cream will be joined by the Crab Cab, Chez Adilmos, SOL Mexicangrill, and Cheverly's own Unforgettable Flavors. 

This year we look to improve the Cheverly Day Public Transit System, as buses will be circulating throughout town bringing people to and from the park from 2pm to 6pm. And of course the Fireworks! So please come join us as we celebrate living in Cheverly.

Finally, please join me in celebrating our Mayor’s Awardees for 2015: Luanne Smith and Oliver Greaves. Take a moment to thank Luanne Smith (Volunteer of the Year) for all of her efforts to support the Boys and Girls Club and especially women's softball for over 20 years, and Oliver Greaves (Jack Wheat Award) for 21 years of service to Cheverly in the Public Works Department. 

See you at Cheverly Day 2015!

Mayor Mike Callahan

A BIG Thank You!

We are grateful to many, many people, organizations, and companies for making Cheverly Day 2015 a terrific celebration of this community. Please join us in thanking everyone!

Cheverly Day is TOMORROW!

Don't miss a thing! Large schedules will be posted at the Community Center and the Tennis Court at Town Park. We look forward to sharing a spectacular Cheverly Day 2015 with you! Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter throughout the day, and include #CheverlyDay in your tweets to share your experience!

Cheverly's First Yarn Bombing!

Cheverly's first-ever Yarn Bombing Installation is up... See it on Saturday at Cheverly Day!

In collaboration with the Cheverly Garden Club, Cheverly knitters led by Kathryn Andrews have contributed hand knit pieces that span three panels on the Tennis Court fence at Town Park.  Flowers have been planted in the pockets, courtesy of the Cheverly Garden Club. Many thanks to Cheverly West for sponsoring this art work. We hope to expand on it next year, so if you are interested in getting involved, please contact Kathryn.

Keeping Cheverly Day Wild!

Visit the Games page at Cheverly Day.org for the complete lineup of fun & games we have in store!

Step right up, step right up!

The Dunk Tank was a HUGE success last year, so we're thrilled that CHVList has resurrected it for Cheverly Day 2015. Some of your favorite Cheverly personalities from last year have graciously agreed to get dunked, as well as a few wonderful additions. Break open those piggy banks, raid the change bowl...it's DUNK TANK TIME! One ticket gets you three balls. Tickets are $1 each and available at the Midway.

2:00-2:30pm MJ Coolen  

2:30-3:00pm Kimberly Stringer 

3:00-3:30pm Paul Andrews 

3:30-4:00pm Micah Watson  

4:00-4:30pm Jen Eldridge 

4:30-5:00pm RJ Eldridge  

5:00-5:30pm Megan Daly 

5:30-6:00pm Mayor Mike Callahan

Many thanks to these eight foolish brave souls! Our advice: practice your aim in the next few days...or hire a softball or baseball player and choose your dunkee!

Get to Cheverly Day in Style this Year!

From 2pm until 6pm, we are offering FREE circulator service to 13 locations in town -- just look for the BUS STOP signs! 

We are grateful to Dimensions Healthcare Systems & Pepco for sponsoring the Cheverly Day buses for a second year!

CHVRun 2015 is Sunday, May 10 (that's tomorrow!)

CHVRun is tomorrow morning and the forecast looks great! Here's what you need to know to get ready...

DOWNLOAD THE TIMING APP:
We'll be timing all of the runners, but you also have the option of downloading the timing app to your smart phone or tablet. Go to webscorer.com or iTunes and download the "Webscorer Race & Lap Timer" app. Once it's loaded, you can select "Download Races" "Recent Registrations" and then use the filters to narrow in on CHVRun Annual 5K Race. From here, you can track your own time and the overall results from your smart phone or tablet!

REGISTRATION AND PACKET PICK-UP:
Registration and packet pick-up will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the Cheverly Community Center, 6401 Forest Road, Cheverly. Please arrive no later than 8:15 a.m. We will start the 5K runners promptly at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 2K runners and walkers.

PARKING:
You will NOT be able to park in the Cheverly Community Center or Town Park parking lots. Anyone who can walk to the Community Center is highly encouraged to do so. Those who must drive are encouraged to park in the parking lot for the Cheverly United Methodist Church, a short walk from the Community Center (parking lot is at the corner of Forest Road and Park Way).

5K COURSE:
The 5K course winds through the lovely (and hilly!) east side of Cheverly. The course is well-marked, and you will see many volunteers stationed along the course. There will be two water stations along the course. The course map is posted here and to our Facebook page.

AFTER THE RACE:
There will be free water and snacks for participants near the finish line. The top three men and women finishers will be awarded medals after they cross the finish line, but we will not have a formal medal ceremony.

Just one week from now...

Just one week from tonight, through the work of the terrific CHVProm 2015 Committee and the Department of Public Works, this nondescript gym gets transformed into Cheverly's big dance: it's time for CHVProm 2015! A handful of tickets are still available -- act fast and you may still be in luck! Email Lane Thompson for details.

CHVProm begins at 8:00pm on Friday, May 15, and doesn't runout of gas until midnight. Competition for the best decorated table is always fierce, and over the years, we've been impressed by Cheverly Metro, Feral Foxes, Gilligan and friends, 007 and Goldfinger...What ever happened to the gold mannequin that decorated that table? Last time we saw her, she was crowd surfing, then riding in the 80th Anniversary Parade the next morning. Anyhow, CHVProm is always a wild night, and this year, we hear that many partygoers are running with our Keep Cheverly Wild Theme. We can't wait to see the results!

Keep up to the minute with all things CHVProm 2015 on Twitter, and use #CHVProm in your tweets to share the evening with everyone!

While the decor and fashions are always great fun, dancing and food are big draws! Cheverly has a wealth of great cooks, and the potluck buffet served up at CHVProm is fantastic.

CHVProm 2015 Potluck Assignments  CHVProm is pot luck and BYOB. The CHVProm Committee will provide a keg, drink mixers, tea and lemonade. Please bring a dish to share based on your last name:

A-G: Cold dishes & Cheese

H-M: Savory Vegetarian

N-S: Savory Carnivore

T-Z: Desserts & Sweetness 

Finally, many thanks to the Department of Public Works and the CHVProm 2015 Committee for all their work this year.
