More Block Party




The band was set up on and by our porch. Our friend Laura is their sponsor. They were very good. John, in the brown hoodie in the bottom photo, got the grill guy and provided the keg of beer and the inflated bouncy thing for the kids. The city provided the tents, tables, chairs, and electricity. They set up the big tent and put in a temporary power board. We picked up the tables, chairs and small tents from the city services shed. The city folks could not have been nicer or more cooperative. Laura got the port-a-potties. There was also a hand washing station with that set up, as you can see in the photo.
You can see in the middle photo that there is a vendor in the small tent on the left. There is an empty tent to the right of that tent. We had three or four more of the little tents available, but no takers. This would have been a good opportunity for neighborhood vendors to get exposure. All in all this block party event is a lot of fun.
