Little High neighborhood backyard concert June 21, 2022In recent years the Little High neighborhood has hosted a series of backyard concerts, story telling for children and adults, garden days, summer picnics, bonfires, food drives, clothing drives, trash cleanups (in the neighborhood and assisting other neighborhoods who've asked for help), purges of invasive vines,  experts on various topics, assorted political candidates, and public officials.

We're always interested in hosting or supporting neighborhood events, so let us know if you have an idea for an event that would be enjoyable for the neighborhood.

Neighborhood Bonfire Nov. 5, 2023

November 4, 2023

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.

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.
