For
the 8th consecutive year, John Kost,
Class of 1974,of Re/Max Premier Choice Realtors,
is generously sponsoring the Upper Arlington
Alumni Association Block Party. This annual
event is held in the field behind Barrington
Elementary School on July 4, immediately
following the UA parade.
This
year's Block Party features great food by
Tom Mignery, Class of 1987, and All
Jazzed BBQ, juggling and balloon animals
by Luke
the Juggler, a bounce house and
games for the children, and more!
If
you are having a reunion this summer, please
look for the class table under the tent!
Everyone is invited to this fun summer gathering
to celebrate our nation's special day and
the wonderful tradition that is the Fourth
of July in Upper Arlington!
From
John
Kost, Class of 1974 - Classic collector
cars have been a part of the U.A. 4th of
July Parade for decades! I thought it would
be fun to have an Alumni Group in the annual
parade and a short car show after the parade
is over, at the UAAA Block Party at
Barrington Elementary.
For
the past several years, some friends and
I have put our old cars in the parade then
had an informal car show around the field
at Barrington School during the UAAA Block
Party. Not only is it fun to be in the UA
Parade, the car show afterwards is a great
way for people to see them up close and
learn the history, etc. Last year, I heard
several people say to their children, "There's
a car like the one we had when I was your
age!"
We've
found it's a really nice complement to the
other activities at the Block Party and
provides another reason to attend! Another
perk to the car owner is reserved parkin
g on the show field at the Block Party.
No need to hassle with street parking; you
pull right in, like the VIP you are! Typically,
the Block Party runs from 11 AM to 1
or 1:30 PM, but you can leave whenever
you wish.
So,
polish up your old classic, fill it with
your friends, and join us for the Parade
and Block Party! To reserve your space and
for more information, call John Kost
at 488-5646 or email
him.
