Albany Friends of Opal’s Park

A bunch of us went to the garage under the Kobelin’s and recorded our screams. Below you will find a 35 minute MP3 of them mixed in with some great background sounds from Martha Stewart.

Enjoy =)

A Brief History Of AFOOP

—

Please join us for our 5th annual block party! As per usual, we will be closing the street early and opening it back up as late as possible. This year we are trying to push the limits by having a movie night with babysitters for the children while the adults hang around the fire pit across the street.

Please check out the pix from last year for an idea of the fun in store. Every year we amp it up a bit more and this year will be no exception. Come early, stay late. Bring your friends and be ready for the party of the summer!

The First Annual Albany Friends Of Opal’s Park (afoop.com) Block Party will be held Saturday August 26, 2006. We will close Dartmouth Street between Talbot and Cornell from 12 noon ’til at least 7pm.

Everyone on the afoop.com list is welcome to participate and attend. Please feel free to invite friends. We are an active group so please wear something to run around in and you may even get wet.

We are providing bar-b-q and beer. We’d love it if you would bring a side dish, dessert or beverage but do not feel obligated. In an effort to decrease our impact on the planet and reduce waste, we encourage you to bring your own cups, plates and utensils.

Face painting
Bubbles (lots!)
Bicycle/tricycle/3-legged/sack/skateboard races
Jumpie castle
BBQ/Grill
Water toys (small pools, slip-n-slide, sprinklers)
Egg/water balloon toss
Kegs of beer from Pyramid
Musical jam sessions

Swings/magic carpet
Lots of smiles…

Hope to see you there! =)
