Great Turnout for the Block Party Event

 
Our 4th-Annual, Academy Hill block party was a tremendous success.  Despite the rainy weather, many people attended the event and had a really great time.  Nandee Willets, owner of Rivers Edge Farm, provided us with pony rides, and also surprised us with a few animals from her farm for the kids to see and pet.  My personal favorites were the baby pig and goat, who looked to be enjoying the day as much as the kids.  We were so worried about the weather and heavy rain, earlier in the day before and at the start of the event, but the skies cleared and we ended up with the greatest afternoon to enjoy!




Since our marketing launch in 2009, I have become very fond of the community, and as many readers know, I relocated my family here last year for the long-term.  I feel very fortunate to have such a great community and the support of our local businesses.  This became so apparent again, yesterday, and I would like to thank Bailey's Bar & Grille, which helped us when we were in a bit of a bind.  We had a slight challenge with our catering vendor, who arrived almost an hour late after going to the wrong address, somewhere across town.  When they finally arrived to the Block Party, they had forgotten their chafing pans!  On a Sunday afternoon, I could not find a rental company, so I made a a quick call to nearby Bailey's Bar and Grill, and within minutes, I was provided with a potential source for chafing dishes, which were graciously lended to us for the afternoon from the Country Club.  I frequent Bailey's often with family and friends, and I would highly recommend a visit if you are near Academy Hill.   Bailey's is a family run business, and recently earned Nashoba Valley's number one recognition for Best Drink and Best Entree at the Taste of Nashoba.  (link opens in new window)




Many of our Academy Hill residents attended the party, and this provided a great opportunity for the potential, home buyers to meet their potential neighbors and discuss their experiences with purchasing an Academy Hill home.


The DJ was Chris from Touch of Class out of Marlborough, MA.  He was very popular with the kids, and kept them occupied with games and activities, while serving a great mix of music that the kids and parents could both enjoy.



Thank you to all who attended, and I look forward to seeing you at the next Block Party!
