Summer
Fresh Air Parties
Plan a fabulous outdoor soiree in your yard with these tips on
grilling, games, food & fun.
By: Christie Bohm Chase, Staff Writer
Warm weather parties have a wonderful aire
of casualness about them. Outdoor gatherings
are less stress, less mess and often quicker to
throw together than indoor parties. Whether
you have a small patio area or an expansive
lawn, it is possible to plan a party that fits your
space. Using the following tips on alfresco
entertaining, get ready to throw open your
doors and move your soiree out under the big
blue summer sky.
All Decked Out
With trees, shrubs, patios, lawns, potted
plants and gardens as the setting, very little is
needed to enhance your outdoor decor for a
party. A few inexpensive touches can help bring
a festive feel to your yard.
•Add to your outdoor seating by bringing
your indoor furniture into the yard. Group
vignettes of seats with a coffee or end
table for people to set their drinks.
•To keep guests cooler, create seating
arrangements in the shade under trees,
an arbor, a porch or umbrellas.
•If you are short of serving space, borrow
or create your own. If you have saw
horses, lay any flat surface across them
and cover with a tablecloth.
•If your outdoor space is small, opt to
serve food in the house buffet style and
have guests head outdoors to eat.
•A picnic blanket with colorful pillows on
the ground is inviting for guests to settle
down on.
•White Christmas lights strung in the
trees and around deck railings, or
hanging Chinese paper lanterns create
an inviting and warm ambiance in any
yard.
•Terra-cotta pots can hold centerpiece
flowers and also utensils, napkins, and
even food.
•Colorful bandanas are perfect napkins,
place mats or table runners at summer
barbecues.
•Use seashells to help hold things down
on a windy day.
•Carve holes into apples or other firm
produce for perfect candleholders.
•Set out insect repellent, and burn
citronella candles so your guests stay
comfortably bug-free.
Hats Off To The Chef
Like decorating, summer party feasting
should be easy on the host. Many people are
happy to bring side dishes to an outdoor event.
If you like the idea of a potluck party, simply
ask your guests to bring a salad, dessert,
appetizer or beverage. Potluck parties help cut
down on the cost to the host. Here are a few
more food tips to help the feast turn out a
success.
• Position the grill so that smoke does not
blow onto seated guests, and keep it
away from where small children are play.
•Buy more ice than you think that you
need, because some of it will melt. For a
rolling beverage cart, add ice to a child’s
wagon and nestle drinks into it.
• When serving finger foods such as
barbecue ribs, set out finger cleaning
bowls. Fill small salad bowls with water
and a few floating lemon slices.
• For easy cleanup opt for disposable
dishes and utensils and set up multiple
trash cans outdoors.
• To prevent misplacing of beverages,
provide your guests with wine charms or
personalized beverage koozies.
• Display food in a shaded area and keep
food in cooler or refrigerator until a few
moments before serving.
• Know the proper temperature for serving
beef, poultry and fish. Check food just
before removing from the grill.
Easy Ice Cream Sandwiches
Popular with both kids and adults, there is
nothing like ice cream on a hot summer day.
These easy to make ice cream sandwiches will
be a hit at your party. For more great summer
recipes visit www.kraftfoods.com, or
www.hormel.com.
Ingredients:
2 cups vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1/2 cup chopped cocktail peanuts
chopped Baker’s semisweet chocolate
crushed Oreo Cookies
large chocolate chip cookies (for crust)
Mix vanilla ice cream with chopped peanuts,
chocolate, and cookies. Place in freezer for 20
minutes or until firm enough to hold its shape.
Spoon about 2 Tbs. of the ice cream mixture onto
bottom side of large cookie. Place second cookie
on top of ice cream, making a sandwich. Roll
edges in additional chopped peanuts or cookies.
Freeze 2 hours or until firm. Enjoy!
Water Wise
If you are fortunate enough to own a pool
and will be entertaining guests in or around the
water, take the proper precautions before
anyone gets wet to let swimmers know that
pool safety is an important part of your party
fun. Always post your pool rules in large type
somewhere near the pool, so that all swimmers
can see them. The following rules will help you
get started.
• Do not run on pool deck
• Do not push people in the pool.
• Do not jump on others.
• No diving into an above ground pool.
• No diving into an in ground pool
unless it has a deep diving area (No
one should dive into water less than
five feet deep;, the minimum depth
for a diving board is nine feet).
As a pool owner there are precautions that
you can take to ensure that the area
surrounding your pool as well as the water itself
is clearly marked and safe for swimmers.
• Use a float line to mark the locations
of the break point between shallow
and deep water.
• Clearly mark water depths on the deck
and near the edge of the pool.
• Keep a first-aid kit and lifesaving
equipment nearby consisting of a long
pole with a loop on one end, a long
rope and at least one ring-shaped life
preserver.

Softball
Badminton

Darts
As we all know nothing ever goes
quite as planned. As long as
everyone is having fun don’t worry if
everything doesn’t go as intended,
just relax and join in. Spontaneity
will make your party a success.
