Neighbors PLEASE NOTE:
Ferdinand Street will be BLOCKED OFF between 35th Avenue S. and MLK for the evening!! It is so fun for the kids to ride their bikes and play together in the street for this special night.

If you live on this block: When you arrive home on Tuesday, please consider parking your car in the alley or around the corner so you don’t have to drive through the party.

SEE YOU THERE!

If you want to help out …

• Setting up can start around 5:30 or so. It involves closing down the street and arranging tables, grills & trash cans. It might involve a friendly reminder to neighbors to move their cars around the corner.

• Cleaning up involves returning tables to their owners, reopening the street, and picking up any remains of the party.
