Whenever you move into a new home, you want to find out the “schedules” of the neighborhood. You need to know when the trash gets picked up and when the mail gets delivered. Your neighbors can clue you in on the best take-out restaurants in the area. Another important item to find out is where are the closest fireworks. If you happen to be situated in an area with viewing of one of the many fireworks displays that go off around Cleveland, then your home is the perfect spot for a 4th of July party. Now it’s time to get your home ready.
Buffet Table
Any backyard party will involve some grilling. Since it is the 4th, hot dogs and hamburgers will probably be top of the menu. The best way to serve up the food is to set up a buffet table. It shouldn’t be close to the grill. You want to keep that heat and flames away from the “action” of the party. On the buffet, set up all the fixing for your burgers and dogs along with all the side dishes. It might help if the buffet table was situated so that folks can “work” both sides. There are also mesh covers for outdoor dishes that are perfect for keeping the flies off the food.
String Up Lights
As the sun sets and everyone waits for the fireworks, you’ll want to add to your backyard lighting. This is when you can break out all the holiday lights and string them up. Tiki torches and candles are also nice alternative light sources.
Kid Games
If kids are on the guest list, then you’ll want to set up a kid station away. This can be a table with board games, arts and crafts, water balloons and anything else that will keep the young ones busy. Depending on the age, you might want to either designate a teen “sitter” or hire one for the party. They can keep an eye on the kids while you keep an eye on your guests.
