West End’s First Ever Bicycle Parade. This year we will have a bicycle parade proceeding the BBQ.  The fabulous Hennepin Crawler, created by West End  artists Krank Boom Clank, will lead the parade. Whether you have a bicycle, wagon, stroller or roller blades- everyone is invited to join in the fun. The route for the parade will wind throughout the West End Neighborhood and is just under 1 mile in length. Decorations are not required, of course, but are heartily encouraged.

West End’s Annual BBQ at DeMeo Park. Join your friends and neighbors at DeMeo Park for food, frivolity and fun. Bring a dish to share. Remember to bring serving utensils and mark your serving plates. Neighbors are invited to bring their own resuable plates and utensils. West End Neighborhood Association provides hamburgers, hotdogs, beverages, utensils and plates.

We need volunteers: For BBQ set up- (if you would like to help out show up at DeMeo Park at noon), BBQ clean up, Bocce court prep. The event would also benefit from kid-friendly activities/games such as face painting, water balloons and such- so present yourself for duty on Saturday if you are willing. We also usually need tables for the food- if you have any to lend- let us know. Allen (707) 477-8422.
