The Running of the Balls is happening in the Sunset Hills neighborhood this Saturday night. It is an opportunity to build community and help fill local food banks. People will don their brightest, blankets holiday clothes, strap their children in jogging strollers, and decorate their canines to run or walk in Greensboro's sparkliest night run.
The above photo is merely a small example of how the entire neighborhood looks now and will look during the run. Chicken wire balls wrapped with Christmas lights fill the trees along Ridgeway and Madison Avenues, Rolling Road, to name a few. Some lights must be about four stories high. This year, the park in the heart of the neighborhood is filled with the decorative balls.
Because there is darkness, we appreciate light even more. Please treat yourself to a little light therapy and drive through the display. It is almost impossible to capture its beauty with a camera. It helps if you arrive just after sunset when the sky still holds on to a little bit of color. Happy Thursday.
You certainly have wonderful community events in Greensboro Janis, this sounds like lots of fun ✨
