We’ll be honest: we’ve been a bit underwhelmed by the response to the announcement of our “Great Prairie Villagian Block Party Contest.” In fact, applications for inclusion in the judging have been approximately eleventy-million percent below what we’d hoped. In that we’ve received none.

So. To jump start things we’re going to go ahead and show up uninvited to a li’l get together on 73rd Street today, where in addition to generous portions of German potato salad, we’ll be taking copious notes.

Just a reminder that these are our prize categories.

Best beverage selection
Best burger
Best brat/hot dog
Best side dish
Best yard game performance
Best music
Best overall block party experience

And, remember, if you’d like for us to show up and document your block party for posterity, shoot us an email at stories [at] shawneemissionpost.com.
