A Successful ASNA Block Party
It was one of those lazy, crazy summer days. It was the Andersonville South Neighborhood party held Saturday, July 16, on Winona between Ravenswood and Paulina.
More than a hundred people young, old, and many in between turned out to enjoy the day, their neighbors, great food and fun activities. See for yourself! Check out our ASNA Photo Gallery.
Kids’ favorites included the Jumping Jack brought in by the City, the Chicago Fire fighters who let kids tour their truck, face painting and not one, not two, but three piñatas!
Chair massages provided by Serendipity Massage, 5301 N. Clark, were a big hit with adults.
Two cakewalks one for kids and one for adults rewarded winners with an assortment of yummy baked goods.
Everyone attending received a raffle ticket. (Check out the great prizes below.) The Edgewater Historical Museum provided a charming display and contest. And neighborhood resident Ben Hollis made a great MC.
Thanks to Katie Robinson, Social Committee Chair, and Chris Bayard for putting together a fantastic event.
