Our 2nd PPD of 2021 is August 7

Although PPDs are usually carry-ins, in deference to public health concerns, we’ll have the food catered. Rumor has it, it will be a tasty buffet that will please omnivores and vegetarians alike. There will still be beverages for all, including beer and wine. Bring a lawn chair if you like.

Our first PPD of 2021 is July 17

After a year of staying safe from Covid-19, we’re feeling good about hosting a Porch, Patio and Deck (PPD) neighborhood party.

Strange things happen on All Hallow’s Eve. On Tuesday, October 30th at 5PM, you will see a parade of little monsters and fantastic creatures marching down the Boulevard!

Your family is invited to Historic South Park’s annual costume parade and weenie roast. Please come to Blommel Park (Jay & Park Dr) at 5PM for a free hot dog, and then line up for the parade. The parade will cover about two blocks. Adults, you are welcome to accompany your children if you are also in costume yourself! Grandparents, bring your grandkids! By 6 o’clock–the start of Beggars’ Hours–all young costumed creatures are set free to trick or treat. You’ve been warned! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
