According to the City of Suffolk's Weather Department, we were told that the weather is supposed to clear up and get a little cooler for tomorrow evening. So THE EVENT WILL GO ON!
All we need now it to find a person or two WITH TRUCKS so that we can go down to our church at 10am to pick up the Carnival Games.
Don't need you to run them, just load transport them from Southside Baptist Church and bring them back to our Event location.
Any one available? Please let me know, either reply here, email me: hillpointfarms@live.com

Rita's will be at our NNO Event but see what else they're doing the same day.
Rita’s plans grand opening
Published 9:15pm Wednesday, August 1, 2012
Rita’s Italian Ice will hold a grand opening celebration for its new location at 882 Main St. in the Suffolk Plaza Shopping center on Tuesday, and those who attend will have a chance to score a year’s worth of treats.
The first 100 guests in Suffolk’s first Rita’s location will get free iced treats for a year.
The grand opening celebration will also include a visit from the Rita’s Ice Guy from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., a ribbon-cutting at 11:30 a.m., a check presentation to the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, and a family celebration from 6 to 9 p.m. featuring the Rita’s Ice Guy and balloons, stickers and tattoos for kids. Service for those waiting in line will begin at 12:30 p.m.
With its motto, “Ice, Custard, Happiness,” Rita’s traditional Italian Ice is made with real fruit available in more than 60 flavors. Rita’s Ice is made fresh on-site daily at each store.
The new Rita’s Italian Ice is owned and operated by franchisee and local resident Kelly Holschuh. The company employs 14 “Treat Team” members from the local community.
“We are so excited to introduce Rita’s Italian Ice to Suffolk, since the closest frozen treat place is over 15 miles away,” Holschuh said. “We invite the community to celebrate and be first in line to win Rita’s Ice for a year at our Grand Opening August 7th.”
The 1,545 square-foot store will be open Monday through Sunday from noon until 10 p.m.
Rita’s Franchise Company, headquartered in Trevose, Pa., is the largest Italian Ice concept in the nation, currently operating in 19 states with more than 625 units.
Rita’s was named one of the Top 25 Franchise High Performers by the Wall Street Journal’s “Startup Journal” and Ranked #156 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Top 500 Franchise Rankings” for 2011.
NNO Event - where we still need help.
Sorry we cancelled the meeting, we did have a couple people show up and this is the same thing I shared with them. The only thing I can't share with you is the planned layout of the event. Other than that, here's what we talked about and still need help with.
Event is on Tuesday, August 7th: 6pm-8pm
1. We need coolers (3 or so) they will be used to fill with ice for drinks and for snow cone making. (ideally with wheels so that's easier to move) They need to have family name/address on them so so they can go back to their proper owner.
2. We need a few people to take a bag of trash with them after the event.
3. We'll have a couple people either monday-pm or tuesday-am to put the pennant flags up, mini flags to mark where the vendors will be set-up.
4. We will cone-off a 75'-100' parking area in the center of the street for the City of Suffolk motorcade and dignitaries. They are scheduled to arrive around 7:30pm. So if you're able to walk to the event that may be best.
5. Vendor set-up begins as early as 2pm but must be completely set up by 5:30pm. Same for food (ready to eat at 6pm.)
6. Let your neighbors know and let's plan on greeting the City of Suffolk motorcade & dignitaries with a great big welcome.
7. Don't forget your chair to chill out in and outdoor dancing shoes.
**Notes: If you have any 10x10 pop-up canopies, they would be helpful to have at the event. Just bring them with you.
Because this is a neighborhood event, you'll need we will not have bathroom facilities.
Any questions, comments or suggestions?

National Night Out - Final Prior Event Meeting Thursday Evening at Site 7pm
Hi neighbors,
We will have the last pre-event meeting on Thursday at 7pm at the site. As long as the weather cooperates.
The main things we'll cover:
1. Helpers - Creekside Comm Church will have about a dozen volunteers to help man the carnival style games.
2. Layout. Easier to explain at site.
3. Food - finalize the count, as supplies & shopping
4. NEED help with set-up, layout & clean up.
5. NEED coolers (5-8 each) with your family name & address on them (ideally with wheels so that they are easy to move. We'll need them for ice (drinks, snow cone making)
6. NEED volunteer (after the event) trash takers to place with your home trash. We CAN'T put the trash in the dumpsters.
This is a VERY informal meeting, and the above is really what we need to cover.
In the meantime, if you're planning on going and you're on hillpointfarms.nextdoor.com,
Please do start RSVPing in the "Events" section so that we can get a better idea of how many will be there.
REMIND YOUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL!
If there's anything you need to discuss regarding NNO, please let me know, I'm finally finishing up with school tonight and will be less stressed out.
