Light Up Night

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

This year’s Light Up Night is scheduled for Saturday, December 1st, from 6-9pm.

With the cancellation of the Bonfire, we are hoping to expand this year’s event. We’ve moved the event to a Saturday evening, we are holding earlier in the month (hoping for less frigid temperatures), and we are starting an hour earlier to accommodate the younger folks. We have some great ideas planned.

More details to come, but as always, WE NEED HELP now in planning, and on 12/1 working at the event.

Please contact us at derek@southpointbreeze.org to volunteer.

Bonfire and Hayride — CANCELED

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

As you may know, the construction of the Sterrett School addition is underway. The field we have used for the Bonfire is not available. As a result, this year’s Bonfire has been canceled. We plan to direct our efforts and funds towards this year’s Light Up Night.


Mark your calendars. The annual South Point Breeze Bonfire and Hayride date has been set.

  • Saturday, October 6th, 4pm

With the Sterrett School field unavailable, we’re going to move the event to Edgerton street, between the cemetery and Reynolds. More details to follow. We need your help to plan and execute this event. Contact info@southpointbreeze.org for more information or to sign up!
