Planners are hard at work organizing Stoopendous, another great event from the Park Slope Civic Council, the folks that bring you the Halloween Parade and the House Tour.

In the days and weeks ahead, be on the lookout for flyers, postcards, and posters about Stoopendous, celebration of the summer solstice in Park Slope on Saturday June 23, 2007

Stay tuned for the launch of Stoopendous.org, where there will be lots of how-to information about making Stoopendous happen on your block.

There will also be  information about the event at the Park Slope Civic Council’s table at Seventh Heaven.

Celebrate the beginning of summer with your neighbors and friends on the stoops and sidewalks of Park Slope.

Mark the day with a simple, fun event on your block or in your building. Morning, afternoon, or evening: whatever time works for you. Plan a stoop sale, a BBQ, a hopscotch tournament, a solstice teach-in, a talent show, an art activity, a sidewalk café.

At sundown (8:31 p.m.) join the All-Slope-Solstice Shout-Out, a chance to make a lot of joyful noise. Blow a kazoo, a whistle, bang on some pots and pans, or play an instrument.
