Rock ’n Roll on Rice

Neighbors celebrated at the 25th annual Rock ’n Roll on Rice block party. For the last 25 years, neighbors on Rice Boulevard have gathered to enjoy each other’s company. Next-door neighbors Fawaz Hashmi and John Stokes have planned and organized the beloved event each year. Ten years ago, at the 15th annual block party, guests were surprised with a flash-mob coordinated dance to Pharrell Williams’ hit “Happy.” To commemorate the 25th anniversary milestone, West University Mayor Susan Sample and Councilperson Matt Hart surprised the party planners with a proclamation of appreciation. Pictured (from left) are Hashmi, Mayor Susan Sample, John Stokes, and councilperson Matt Hart.
