Alright! Let's get this thing started...

Saturday October 27th!

I'll get a city permit to close the end of Brandigen Lane down to traffic. I figure the closure will be right at the intersection with Carrimore, allowing 'traffic' to turn left, but not continue on to the dead end.

We can figure out activities for the kids and adults during the day, and then we'll do a large pot-luck style dinner and have live band(s) in the evening. The permit will allow closure of the street from 8am till midnight, but I don't see much happening before noon, so let's call it noon to midnight?!

As this is around Halloween, I think making this a costume event would be great fun! I'll cut you some slack during the day, but come evening time, if you're not wearing a costume, be prepared to be take a ribbing!

Also, anyone and everyone is invited. Pass this information on to your neighbors, friends, and family, just ask them to remember something for dinner and their costumes!

You can email me direct if you'd prefer: Mikef5000@yahoo.com

Pot-luck style always seems to work best at gatherings such as this. Buy something or make something, it's all good. Is 5pm too early?

I'm more worried about tables than food. Do folks have card tables or picnic tables that we may be able to drag out in the street?

Give me some ideas for activities here!

Here are some off the top of my head:

• Costume Contest (Kids and adults?!)
  
• Station 31 Fire Truck 'demonstration'
• Sheriff 'demonstration'
• Corn Hole Tournament (Kids and adults?!)
  
• Talent Show (better make this kids only!)
• Pumpkin Carving Contest
  

Anyone want to offer up the use of their corn hole boards/bags?

I'm all ears for ideas here!

(There is a 6:30pm away Buckeyes game, so perhaps we can get a bigscreen or projector of some sort out there for everyone?)


We're working on lining up 3 (that's right THREE) bands for the evening! They'll be setup at the very end of the dead end street, and play from sometime around dinner till around midnight. I'll post more details when I get them, or those of you organizing the bands can post details in the comments?!
