What a party! 2 years ago, D & I hosted a neighborhood party, we had such a great turnout that we decided to have another one this year. Living in the cul de sac with some great neighbors is a BIG bonus. I sent flyers to our 6 neighbors asking them if they were interested in hosting a party, then we agreed on a date to host a party. I then sent out flyers to our neighbors up the street and invited them to come. Lo'n behold, we had about 50-70 people show up to our event! Our neighbor across the street (Robert, Clarissa & Cloey) brought out their bounce house for all the kids to play - thanks guys!
The boys brought out their grills, Robert brought the Wheat Ale pony keg from Silver Peak, Mike & Becke made Asian food (sake bombs & dumplings), Jeff made chicken fajitas & tri tip, D & I (w/ the help of D's mom, Jenny & stepdad John) grilled bbq drumsticks, seasoned chicken wings, burgers from wolfpack meats, and dogs n sausages. We asked everyone else to bring a potluck dish to share with everyone.
We had a cornhole aka "bags" tournament. We had each person pay $5.00 into the tournament. "bags" is a like horseshoes except you throw bags full of corn kernels into a box with a hole in it (SEE PHOTO). Thanks to Don & Matt, we had 24 teams enter the bags tournament. The tournament started at 7 pm and lasted until about 10:30 pm. 1st place was Matt & neighbor Mike T, 2nd place, John & Jay, 3rd place Mark & neighbor Justin. Great job guys!
What a fun night, I think the consensus is to host another one next year. stay tuned!
