All Little High neighborhood residents, friends, family, visitors, and persons of good will are invited to a bonfire hosted by the Little High neighborhood association 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.

This is a great opportunity to spend some time with your neighbors, get to know some new people, embrace the darkness that is standard time, and get in touch with your inner Druid. We encourage everyone to bring a scary story* and at least one other neighbor. We also encourage people to bring extra coats, scarves, hats, sweaters, or gloves to donate for the Haven’s winter wear drive. We will talk very briefly about our program of organizing volunteers to help rake leaves and shovel snow. We will pass around a sign-up sheet.

* You do not have to tell a story. But if you do tell a story, your name will automatically be entered in a drawing for a gift certificate to a fine neighborhood establishment (Beer Run!). Other people who are eligible to participate in the gift certificate raffle: anyone who contributes to the Haven’s winter wear drive; anyone who signs up to volunteer to help rake leaves and / or shovel snow; anyone who has never been to a neighborhood association sponsored event; anyone who hasn’t been to one of our events in the past year; and everyone who brings at least one new neighborhood resident.

The fine print

One exception applies: the drawing for at least one gift certificate to Beer Run will only take place IF at least 10 new neighborhood residents or first timers or long-time-no-see-ers show up. So there’s your motivation as a storyteller! Hope to see everyone this Sunday, 7-9pm.
