| PARTY NOTES |
B.Y.O.F – Bring food to share. I ask that all guests bring “potluck” food to share. Please bring your favorite dish, sandwich, salad, grillables, dessert, etc. to share with other ‘Festers. Please don’t show up empty handed because HEATHERFEST is all about sharing! 🙂 There will be a grill available for all of you BBQ meisters. There will be extension cords available for crock pots, but no sources to heat-up food. If you want to pick something up on the way, Roche Bros is near my house @ 175 Mansfield Ave. or the Produce Barn is at 72 Mansfield Ave.
B.Y.O.B (and a cooler & ice). Norton Liquors is a HeatherFest Sponsor and only 2 minutes from my house at 92 Mansfield Ave. (12p – 6p) Make sure you tell them Heather sent you! Wear your HeatherFest T-Shirt, sweatshirt or hat and receive a 10% discount!
B.Y.O.C. Bring your own chair or something to sit on.
Parking: Carpooling is strongly suggested, as parking is very limited. Parking is available on Beach St., which is on the left just before my house or on Gary Rd., which is on the left just past my house. Per the Norton Police Department you can only park on the same side of the road as my house, and you must be parked facing the same direction as traffic. Another suggestion is to meet at Roche Brothers @ 175 Mansfield Ave. in Norton and carpool to my house. The driveway is reserved for motorcycle parking only. There will be a spot at the end of the driveway for drop off & pick up. Bikers: Please respect my neighbors and leave quietly. (no burnouts) No Colors. THANKS!!!!
I can’t wait to see you all!! Cheers! ~Heather~ |
