Deck Crawl
We have decided with some of our neighbors that it might be fun to have a deck crawl next weekend. I need help putting together the details of how this would actually work though. Has anyone out there attended or hosted a neighborhood deck crawl? Can you give me some ideas? Thanks!

Hi, We do wine aroung the culdesac same thing? Every house has drinks and appetizers. We stay at each house about half an hour and proceed to the next. So do deck to deck with really great appetizers and cold drinks. If kids are included have things for them to eat and drink and diffrent games at each house. I hope this helps a little. A.

I am not sure what a deck crawl is. Is it where you go from one neighbors home to the other and eat a course. If so, here is what we do. One person from each home meets together or by phone calling others and decide if there is going to be a theme or a free for all (fix what ever you want of your assigned course.) Each person decides what course they want to serve, then the route of the homes are put in order. Some times it is fun to have a chocolate theme, finger food (no silver ware is allowed)or a free for all (anything goes). Our three rules are 1)No ingrediants that someone is allergic to 2) No alcohol in food for those you do not consume it, and 3) No one is allowed to have any decorations.
