Celebrations of Labor Day
This weekend marks the unofficial end of summer and there’s so many ways to celebrate with the traditional cook-out always making the top of the list. But, what are a few ways to add that unique twist onto your gathering or weekend festivities?
Pickle Ball Tourney: Grab your friends, meet on the courts and have a tournament. Celebrate with pickle themed food; a pizza topped with pickles and a drizzle of hot honey is always a winning combo! Winner earns the ‘Pickler of the Year’ award with a large jar of pickles!
Backyard Camp Out Competition: Fill the backyard with your favorite people and a night of tents and camping, but the twist? They have to decorate with a theme. It will be a surprise to everyone and hopefully memories to last a life time.
Grilled Pizza Buffet: Create a buffet of all the fixings! Let everyone roll and top their dough, heat up the grill and enjoy a deliciously fun meal paired with good spirits.
Outdoor Movie Night: Keep it simple, but fun. Hang a white sheet, borrow or rent a projector and host a backyard movie night with popcorn, soda (or maybe ice cream floats) and candy. Everyone can bring their beach chairs and blankets to hang out and have fun.
Old-fashioned Block Party: Be the neighborhood host and meet at the cul-de-sac or in the driveway for an old-fashioned potluck. Let the kids play and the parents talk; always simple but memorable.
