Neighbors in the Johnson Addition and Wilson Village areas – located just south of Main Street and west of the Carmel Arts & Design District – are hosting a big block party from noon to 4 p.m., June 6. Not only is it a chance for anyone, even those who don’t live the neighborhoods, to enjoy the area, but it’s also a fundraiser for the nearby Carmel Friends Church.
Most of the festivities will be located right at the church and proceeds will help pay for new playground equipment for the church.
“The church has been such a positive force in our neighborhood that we wanted to find a way to support them,” said Charlie Demler, who lives in Johnson Addition. “Many families have their kids play on this playground so we thought it’d be nice for the church and for our neighborhood.”
Attendees can buy BBQ chicken dinners and enjoy live entertainment, including a DJ and a bounce house. Pastor Keith Glasgow will also be spreading the word about his congregation.
If anyone is interested in buying tickets for dinner or getting a booth at the event, contact Chuck Ford at 435-1224.
Vendors that are confirmed to be there as of press time are:
- Sundown Gardens
- Huntington Bank
- Adams Flooring
- Centennial Construction and Remodeling
- Richmond Exteriors
