Block Party 2018

We had taken a few years off from getting together in the summer, but brought back the block party this year by popular demand and are so glad we did! We celebrated on Saturday, September 8th from 4:30 to 8:00pm up in the Longview Drive cul de sac. It was a wonderful chance to meet and mingle with all the new neighbors as well as catch up with old friends. Fun times were had by all in the bouncy house, playing lawn games, at the kiddie table, and on the kickball field. We served Big Y pizza and entree trays from Plymouth Catering alongside pot luck sides and apps provided by neighbors. The ice cream truck was a big hit again for dessert!!! Thank you to everyone that came and brought food and drinks (or tables and chairs, supplies, etc.). Special thanks to State Trooper DeAngelis who brought up his work SUV to show the kids, they loved it!! And huge thanks to the planning committee for all their hard work: Anne Caliento, Janet Geraigery, Alysa Lofstrom, Kristen Shoaf, Janine Symes, Tricia Arieta, Sue Kenney, Jennifer Guevremont, and Sarah Pasternak.

Here's some pics from the day:

Such a fun day! What do you think? Should we have a block party in 2019?

Block Party 2016

This past winter we weren't able to hold are annual Holiday Party, so we decided to kick summer off instead with a Block Party! Even though it was raining and windy, we were able to set up shop in the Geraigery garage (thanks, guys!) and under some tents. We met from 4pm to 7pm (and later!) for hamburgers and hot dogs, pot luck side dishes, and ice cream from the El Pro Ice Cream truck for dessert!

Highlights from the fun night included a HUGE obstacle course bouncy house (thanks to the Pavliks for having it in their back yard), face painting, a sand box for the littles, and an original play written and performed by neighborhood kids!

Thanks to everyone who came and brought food! Loved being able to welcome some new faces to the neighborhood too:)

Huge thanks to the planning committee...Sheila Barbosa, Anne Caliento, Jessica Garrett, Janet Geraigery, Alysa Lofstrom, Sarah Pasternak, and Kristin Shoaf...for all their hard work! (And to all the guys who manned the grills!)

Here's some photos from the event:
