Final Reminder - Chillin' & Grillin' for a Cure Sat. 7/14 at 3pm

Dean-o at 2

The excitement here is rising!!!  We are ecstatic to welcome you to Chillin' & Grillin' for a Cure and wanted to send around one final reminder for the Block Party that we're hosting on Saturday July 14th from 3-10pm at 21831 yellow finch lane in Frankfort (60423).

Don't think of your typical block party, think BIG!  We have 8 FANTASTIC chefs geared up and ready to serve their ribs to the 50 lucky people that purchase a rib ticket.  You'll get to sample one rib from each chef and vote on your choice for the best ribs.  The lucky chef will win the prized Chillin' & Grillin' trophy!!  If ribs aren't your style, don't worry, we have good old burgers, veggie burgers and hot dogs ready for grillin' and some fantastic sides to complement. 

Aside from the food, we have over 50 spectacular baskets and items ready to raffle.  We mentioned some of them in our last email and the donations keep on coming - we guarantee there will be something for everyone.  And if you can't make it but want to get in on the raffles, send us an email or give us a call, we'll send you the list of items and put your tickets in for you!

Don't forget to bring your little ones!  The street will be closed off and there is a secure cul-de-sac where they can ride scooters or bikes in if you want to bring them along.  We'll have a jumpy (weather permitting), music by Poochamungas (a kids band) and caricatures, face painting, balloon artist by Art4Clowns, mini taekwondo sessions by ATA Frankfort and many other kids games to keep the little ones smiling.

Besides the basket raffles, we'll continue with raffles throughout the evenings (wine pull, 50/50, kids quick raffles, etc.) and we'll start the bean bag tourney as the DJs are starting and challenge your skills with some of the best we know on the S. Side!  The beer tent for those of age will be open as long as our supply lasts.  The general timeline is below and as mentioned, we're closing off the street so please plan on parking on Nebraska, Morning Dove or Blue Bird.

Thank you for all of the AMAZING help and support we've had so far and we're looking forward to celebrating with you and raising some dough to find Dean's cure.

With love and gratitude,
Jim & Erin
