All neighborhood residents, friends, family, visitors, and persons of good will are invited to a bonfire hosted by the Little High neighborhood association on Sunday, November 5, 7-9pm in the backyard of 1201 Little High (on the corner of Little High and 12th streets). The neighborhood association will provide warm apple cider, ingredients for s’mores, fire, some chairs, and introductions.
The bonfire is, of course, just an excuse for a general neighborhood gathering so come as you are but we encourage everyone to bring at least one neighbor and a scary story*.
If you would like to contribute to the bonfire, you can drop off wood and/or Guy Fawkes effigies ahead of time by adding to the pile in the backyard of 1201 Little High.
* Acceptable scary story themes include Halloween, off-year election anxieties, daylight savings time mishaps, deadly encounters with duct cleaning services spam, Guy Fawkes miscellany, scary neighbor stories from when you lived someplace else, or anything you’d else you would like to share.
Rain date: Sunday, November 12th, same place and time.
