See you NEXT Saturday

Friends,

We have decided to postpone the block party until NEXT Saturday. The weather just hasn't co-operated, and tomorrow looks just as doubtful.

Please join us Saturday, Oct. 4. We can't close the street, but we can use the sidewalks for lots of stoop sale/ice cream party/potluck dinner fun.

See you there!

What Should We Do?

The forecast for today (Saturday) looks bleak. We have a built-in rain date for our block party/street closure permit on Sunday. The weather tomorrow looks better, but certainly no guarantees. Some have suggested holding off any activities for this weekend and trying for a sidewalk-only event next weekend, including stoop sales and an ice cream party. We need to get a handle on what folks would like to do. Please cast your vote in a comment below.

Welcome, friends

This is the debut of the new Carroll Street/PPW Block Association blog. We hope it can be used to keep everybody posted on upcoming events, like this Saturday's block party.

Remember, there's no parking on Carroll Street between 8th Ave. and the park that day, and the street will be closed to traffic from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The day starts with a block-wide stoop sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Kids' activities will run from 1-5 p.m. with an ice cream party at 3 p.m. The potluck dinner will begin at 6 p.m.

Please take a moment to list the dish you intend to share -- or even a hint of it (salad, fruit, pasta, etc.) and hopefully we can fill in any gaps and avoid duplications. Just click on the "comments" link below to indicate what you plan to bring.

Sincerely,

The Carroll St./PPW Block Association Board
