SURPRISE

Here's the scoop:

Party is Saturday June 11th at 4pm-?
Mom & Dad will arrive between 430 and 445.  It's open house style so no one is expected to be here AT 4pm but those who are, will get to be part of the "surprise" moment.
My address:
209 S. 3rd Street
Malta, IL  60150

The party will end whenever we feel like it.
This weekend is also the weekend of our town's anniversary celebration and there will be a professional fireworks display (weather pending).  Anyone who wants to take a walk 4 blocks to the park to watch the fireworks is welcome to do so, I'm sure my parents will want to!

My house is not big, but we're a cozy bunch.  I have a huge front porch and nice yard for partying so pray that the weather cooperates and plan to dress appropriate for the temp.  I will update on what the forecast for that day is as we get closer to the date.
