Hello, Edmer Avenue and Edmer Friends & Family members:
The EDMER FALL FEST BLOCK PARTY is confirmed for Saturday, September 22, on the 1100 block of Edmer. Sponsored by The Edmer Betterment Crew — and since you are all members of the crew, you are all sponsors.
Cost: $7 per person. Please drop payment off at Sullivan’s, 1130 Edmer (mail box is fine… write your name on envelope). Chase QuickPay/Zelle is great, too (send to rasullivan@mac.com) Yes, extended friends and family from outside Edmer are welcome and encouraged ($7 per person).
POTLUCK COMMUNITY TABLE:
- It’s annual: The Fall Festival Chili Event…now in its 3rd year! The response is always fantastic…and delicious…and a blast. Bring out your secret recipes, tailgate showstoppers, personal family faves….we want it all. Crock pots work really well here.
- If you’d like to bring something other than a pot of delicious soul-warming chili, how about any of your favorite fall tailgating dishes:
- Cheese plates and Appetizers — can anyone top Jean’s bar setting 5-star creation from last year? That work of art was a work fo art (still hoping someone can pull off a bloomin’ onion)
- Pie and Dessert (pie is just good food, so is chocolate…as in, John Kregor Derby Pie and the Linda Merchant Key Lime Experience)
- Renegade Entries To Amaze and Delight — hell yez! Feel free to go overboard and show off a little. (I’m recalling Bernard’s mighty awesome citrus salmon board from last year and Aaron’s smoked butt from ‘16)
- Volunteer Grill Chef for brats and hotdogs (oddly, kids aren’t huge fans of chili)
- Wine Selections (especially the red and white ones) — pull out a tasty selection from the home rack and round out the grape offerings (whiskey and tequila are always welcome, too…just sayin’)
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE. WE NEED YOU! And, when you get a moment, please send me an email to let us know your plans. We will coordinate and facilitate from here.
Your contribution of $7 per person covers the following:
- Bouncy house
- Beer Keg and beer cups (if Oliver greets our keg selection with a smile…it’s a win/win all the way around)
- Soft drinks and waters
- Crackers, shredded cheese and toppings for the chilis
- Hot dogs and brats for the grill
- Buns for the brats and hotdogs
- Condiments
- Daytime snacks and treats
- Bowls, napkins, spoons, plates, serving ladles, etc
General idea of schedule:
10a-6p Bouncy House (thank you, Jason Washburn, for once again coordinating) plus Daytime Snacks, Treats and Grilled Dogs at appropriate times
5p-11p Cockpots are gathered, the grill is fired up and food is on…the bar is still open (having opened earlier in the day)
7:30p Outdoor movie (tbd…pending weather and the charitable graces of Jim Wangerow)
More details to come, so please stay tuned. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Edmer Fall Fest - and remember, better is better so always make it better.
Warm regards,
Rick & Marni
