Watermelon Time Community Picnic

Thanks for coming!

In an age of divisive politics, getting together with neighbors is more important than ever!

This year we took a new approach.  We moved the picnic from Highland Park to 1605 Davis Ave, which is the future-site of the new Davis Ave Endwell Community Garden. This gave us a chance to meet a plethora of new people and bring a much-deserved spotlight to the community garden we've been working to build.

Here some memories from the 2018 picnic:

Held Sunday, August 12, Watermelon Time 2018 brought together over 250 people for free food, games, music, and
give-aways.  The weather was incredible and the smiles were magnificent. 

I personally visited 1,500 homes in Endwell & Endicott and sent out 3,500 postcard invites to the community. 

There was no RSVP, so I had no idea how many people would show up.

The response was overwhelming.  Not only did I get people that I invited - I also got their friends, neighbors, and relatives too!  As a result, the future community garden site was packed with people of all ages and walks of life.  They sat at the same tables, shared food, games, and conversation.  The outcome was lots of smiles.  What more can we ask for from life?

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make Watermelon Time a success.

Can't wait to do it again in 2019!
