Don't forget: Neighborhood chili cookoff on October 10th


Hello Parkrose Heights Neighbors

We are almost 2 weeks from our Chili Cookoff, Craft Fair and Movie Night.

The 2 major things we need are Chili Makers and Crafters to participate. Here are the details.

The Chili Cook-off

One of our best events last year was the Chili Cookoff. We had 4 chili’s that were made by neighbors just like you. They each had a number and the community voted for their favorite.

The winner received bragging rights, and the donations that were received from the community. We are looking for home cooks, and the major goal is fun and feeding our neighbors with delicious Chili.

Craft Event

Are you a crafter, baker or other type of vendor? This is an opportunity to get a jump start on your holiday offerings. There is no table fee and we are excited to see your items.

We will also be showing the Fall Classic Hocus Pocus in our Theatre room.

If you want to participate (we know you do), please email Anna Bonte, our activities coordinator for Parkrose Heights Association of Neighbors. She can provide more details.

Her email is annabonte76@gmail.com.

Hope to see you on October 10th at

Parkrose United Methodist Church, Miller Hall

​11111 NE Knott Street​

​Portland, OR 97220​

4-8pm. The movie will start around 5:30.

A few quick notes before the minutes: It doesn't look like we're going to be able to reschedule the summer Picnic in the Park event, which we had to cancel/postpone due to the weather, so the October 10th chili cook-off event is going to be our big event for this year. This is your chance to mingle with your neighbors, show off your chili cooking skills, or just try some tasty chili. Saturday, October 10, 5pm-7pm, at Parkrose United Methodist Church Councilor Loretta Smith's monthly Coffee...
