Your imagination is the limit when planning activities that will make your block party memorable. Make activities appropriate for the age group, safe, and fun. This year we added a Best BBQ Ribs contest. Every party entered will be visited by a judge who will determine which block is tops. Keep it simple .
Potluck dinners are easiest for beginners.
Since many people are near their homes it is probably convenient for them to use their own facilities and utensils. Ask neighbors to bring their own lawn chairs to the picnic site. Get the message out to all your neighbors. It s a good idea to get the word out at least one-month in advance and to distribute reminders the week of the party. This is a good opportunity to visit with your neighbors and make contact with those you haven't met.
