What could be better than relaxing at a neighborhood park, having a barbecue, and sipping a couple of cold drinks with friends? I suppose that the only thing that could make it better is knowing that the good time includes a charitable component.
Each year, the Days Park Block Club and Elmwood Village Charter School host the Weidner’s Chicken BBQ fundraiser. This will be the third time that the event has taken place. The funds raised at the barbecue are directed to the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, which are then earmarked to maintain and restore the historic park’s lawn.
In 2015, funds raised at the event meant that half of the lawn could be aerated and re-seeded. In 2016, the plan is to tackle the other half of the lawn.
Everything that you need to know, can be found below:
- Meals can be picked up to go
- Stay and enjoy dinner in the park with your neighbors – grilling on site this year
- Tables and chairs will be available
- Beverages and desserts
- Activities for kids
- Pack a picnic blanket and relax with the family
- Vegetarian meal option is available (cold salads platter). Please note this in your ticket purchase
- In the event of rain, all activity will be moved inside Elmwood Village Charter School
