Fall Fun Is Coming to Alexander!

The City of Alexander is getting ready to welcome fall in a big way! Alexander Fall Fest is coming to Alexander City Park on October 3 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and St. Joseph’s Glen residents are invited to come out and enjoy an afternoon filled with food, family, and plenty of fall fun.

This free community event will have something for just about everyone. Hungry? Food trucks will be serving up delicious choices throughout the day. The kids can burn off some energy in the Kid Zone, featuring games, bounce houses, and other activities. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a fall festival without pumpkins! Families can enjoy the pumpkin patch and hayrides for some classic autumn fun.

Visitors will also have a chance to browse local vendors, shop for unique finds, and support businesses and makers from around our community.

Check Out the New Playground!

There’s another reason for families to spend some time at Alexander City Park—the new playground! The park has been getting some exciting new additions, and we’ve added a few photos of the new playground to the St. Joseph’s Glen website.

Before Fall Fest—or if you just want a sneak peek—visit our Alexander Park Photo Gallery to see the new playground:

With the cooler days of fall arriving, Fall Fest is a great opportunity for St. Joseph’s Glen neighbors to get out of the house, spend some time together, check out the improvements at the park, and enjoy everything our local community has to offer.

Admission is FREE, so bring the whole family!

Fourth of July Fireworks Safety Reminder

As Independence Day approaches, the St. Joseph's Glen Property Owners Association encourages all residents to celebrate safely and responsibly.

If you plan to enjoy fireworks, please be mindful of local regulations. According to the Alexander Police Department, fireworks are permitted from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on July 3 and July 4.

Please remember:

• Please also be considerate of your neighbors during the holiday. Fireworks can be frightening for pets, young children, and those with sensitivities to loud noises.
• Keep pets indoors when possible, clean up all fireworks debris once it has cooled completely, and never use fireworks while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Fireworks are not permitted within 300 feet of any city-owned or maintained public park.
• Fireworks may not be discharged on any public street, alley, roadway, or public right-of-way.
• Always keep a safe distance from homes, vehicles, dry grass, and other flammable materials.
• Never allow young children to handle fireworks without close adult supervision.
• Have a bucket of water or a hose nearby in case of fire.
• Light only one firework at a time, never attempt to relight a malfunctioning firework, and dispose of used fireworks by soaking them in water before throwing them away.
• Report fires immediately. Even a small grass fire can spread quickly during hot, dry weather.

A few simple precautions can help ensure everyone enjoys a safe and memorable Fourth of July celebration.

In the event of an emergency, call 911. For non-emergency assistance, contact the Alexander Police Department at 501-303-5648.

The St. Joseph's Glen POA wishes everyone a safe, fun, and happy Fourth of July!  

Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence

This Independence Day holds special significance as our nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. On July 4, 1776, our Founding Fathers declared the thirteen American colonies free and independent, laying the foundation for the United States and the enduring principles of liberty, equality, self-government, and individual rights that continue to shape our nation today.

Beyond the fireworks and festivities, the Fourth of July is an opportunity to reflect on our nation's history, honor the men and women who have served and sacrificed to protect our freedoms, and appreciate the strong communities we call home. As we celebrate this historic milestone with family, friends, and neighbors, let us do so safely, responsibly, and with gratitude for the freedoms we share. 🇺🇸🎆
