On Saturday, May 31, Cherrydale and other North Arlington neighborhoods celebrated the undergrounding of the utility wires along Lee Highway with the “Discover Cherrydale” festival.

Cherrydale Citizens Association President Maureen Ross and Vice Chairman of the County Board Mary Hynes kicked off the festivities with opening remarks at the Historic Cherrydale Firehouse.

The entire crew of the Cherrydale Volunteer Fire Department was on hand.
