Come celebrate at the Gargoyle House.
Eleven to nothing. Four meetings, two neighborhoods, one ask, and it is done. Before the first snowfall, let’s get everyone who signed, spoke, wrote, and put up a sign into one room to say thank you to each other. Bring your favorite dish to pass. We will have the beer and wine.
Your favorite dish to pass, by last name
So we end up with a table and not twelve bowls of potato salad, the first letter of your last name picks your course. If you have a signature dish that does not fit, bring it anyway; nobody has ever complained about extra dessert.
Appetizers and sides
Dips, veggies, cheese and crackers, deviled eggs, a salad, a vegetable dish, bread.
Main dishes
A casserole, a crock pot of something, chili, pasta, sliders, anything hearty that feeds eight or more.
Desserts
Bars, cookies, pie, cake, fruit. The Wisconsin tradition will be honored.
Let us know you are coming
A head count helps us plan the drinks and the tables. Your reply comes to the organizers only.
Why the Gargoyle House
The D.C. Everest House at 1206 Highland Park Boulevard was built between 1925 and 1928 for the paper-company executive the neighborhood’s school district is named for, and it has watched a hundred winters of boulevard plowing from behind its gargoyles. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, and it is also just a house on our street, which seemed like the right place to raise a glass to the median. The front door is the one under the carved shield.
