This Block Party is taking us back to where it all began—the 1900 block of Stearns Drive—and we’ve expanded to the 2000 block.  For our neighbors who moved to Faircrest Heights since the year 2000, you missed our annual block parties.  We celebrated our 20th in 2001.  From that time on we have held smaller gatherings at LACES or skipped the celebrations altogether.


During the 20 years of block parties, a group of neighborhood “cooks” worked for two days prior buying approximately 100 chickens, washing and seasoning them.  On party day, they’d fire up their grills as early as 6:00 a.m. and barbecue the chickens, along with hot dogs and hamburgers.  Neighbors brought potluck items, including salads, desserts, and fruit.  We had performances by our talented neighbors, games and prizes.  We sold tickets for as little as $5 per household of four.

For our 30th anniversary we will have hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, ice cream, games and prizes, and special guests.  We’ll have great entertainment by our talented neighbors and many of our neighbors will bring potluck items (see the suggested list below).  However, thanks to generous donations from community sponsors, this year all of this will be FREE!!!!!  You will need tickets for food so sign up and be counted.
