Hubert NC Kingsbridge Block Party with Neighbors & Clients

I live and work in a wonderful neighborhood in Hubert NC located very near Camp Lejeune Marine Base in Jacksonville. It sits on the banks of picturesque Queens Creek and is home to some of the nicest and friendliest people you'll ever meet.

There are actually two adjoining subdivisions, Kingsbridge on Queens Creek and Kingsbridge II and a new one now under construction Kingsbridge Estates. Hubert NC Block Party

This past Saturday these two subdivisions joined forces and held a block party. It was a great time for neighbors to relax, catch up, eat some delicious food and enjoy each other.

The neighborhood organizers went all out. The street was blocked off, there was a tent, lots of games for the kids and food, boy was there food! Hubert NC Neighborhood

There was Eastern North Carolina barbecue (if you've never had Eastern North Carolina barbecue pork, you've missed out on a real treat!) I know about Texas, Tennessee and even other North Carolina barbecue.... but my friends believe me when I tell you Eastern North Carolina barbecue is the BEST!

The side dishes of coleslaw, potato salad, pasta salad, deviled eggs and others which I can't recall at the moment were all delicious thanks to the wonderful neighborhood cooks.

The desserts! Wow, what a marvelous array of cakes, pies, brownies and cookies there were. Who could resist? Yummy!

Some of us might have skipped the Monday morning weigh-in as a result of the party.

The kids had a blast with the dunking machine, moon bounce and Miss Priss, the clown, was there painting faces, making balloon animals and providing great entertainment for the kids. There were no bored kids at this party. Kingsbridge on Queens Creek Hubert NC

I heard many say that they hoped this would become an annual event and I agree. It was fun to hang out with the neighbors, soak up some rays,chow out and chill out.

Does this sound like like a neighborhood you would enjoy living in? It has everything you are looking.....convenience, lovely homes and home sites, great neighbors and it is affordable.

Great Localism post, Cynthia. I love block parties as you get to meet your neighbors and make a few friends. Great pictures.

Cynthia,

It sounds like it was a fun time for all. In addition to this being a wonderful localism post.

Hi Barbara,
Thank you, it was fun and a great thing for the neighborhood.

That looks like a fun neighborhood! Glad you all got together and had some fun....it sure is nice to have a neighborhood where everyone knows each other and looks out for each other too :)

Cynthia, I love the photos! It definitely looks like a wonderful neighborhood and everyone is having so much fun.

Hello Don,
A great neighborhood, people and it's so convenient......what more could one want? Thank you.

Denise,
Thank you and yes, it was great fun. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.

Looks like a good time had by all and if you did not have a good time it was your own fault.

Hi Sally,
Actually everybody did not know each other and it was a wonderful way to meet new neighbors. Thanks.

Carole,
Thank you and I do believe everyone had a great time. The weather was perfect and the food delicious.

Hello Susan,
For sure, all the ingredients for fun were present! I think even more people will attend the next one.

I'm doing well enough to hike on over and comment on your blog! Thanks for commenting on mine earlier.

Cynthia = Looks like a terrific event. This was an opportunity for people to have fun, eat and really get to know more about each other. This is truly a nice way to showcase the neighborhood.

I love these kind of small town NC events. I must admit , I prefer Western NC barbecue but its all great! Thanks for sharing about this wonderful day with us!

Looks like a fun time...we have them here all the time.

I planned a block party last year- and the kids keep asking me when I'm going to do it again. It was so much fun!

Hello Mike,
Thanks for making the hike over here and commenting. My hat is off to you for undertaking such a daunting adventure.

Hi Jennifer,
This truly shows the flavor of this neighborhood. I hope my local readers can see that. Thanks.

Diane,
What!?! You prefer western Carolina barbecue? Now I thought your palate was more refined than that! LOL.

Hello Judy,
It is so much fun, I understand why they want you to have another. I'm thinking we should do more than one per year. Maybe in the Fall and in the late Spring. Thanks.

Neal,
You do? Well why hadn't you told me how much fun they were? You know I depend on you for lots of information. :0)

Hi Cynthia,

It looks like everyone had a very good time....what a wonderful community to live in!
If only more neighbourhoods were like this...

Cynthia... What a unique way to profile the community! What a great neighborhood.

That sure does look fun. Did everyone pitch in and rent the moon bounce, tents and dunk tank?

Looks like a good time was had by all... the mere mention of eastern nc bbq has my mouth watering... geez is that stuff good.

PS... I like the new picture... it looks great!

Good Morning Jo,
So true, there are so many neighborhoods where next door neighbors do not know each other. I believe knowing your neighbors add a very important security net.

Debbie,
Thank you, I think it shows the true face of this community.

Hello Craig,
Actually, there was some surplus money in the HOA account and that was used. But, I think everyone would be willing to pitch in if needed.

Hi Jesse,
Believe it or not, I thought about you as I wrote about the barbecue! Have you made your travel plans to NC yet?
