July 17, 2006 - If you are organizing a block party for National Night Out on August 1st, and would like a chance to add some free entertainment to the event, Jazz88 has put together a contest for the most creative block party invite and will bring the Bruce Henry Band out to play for the winning block party that evening.

Tuesday, August 1st, the 23rd Annual National Night Out is happening in the Twin Cities and the Jazz88 crew would love to be part of your block party!

You do have to do a bit of work however...
Send them a creative invitation to your block party and give them a reason for joining your celebration on Tuesday evening. It might be a poem, a song, an essay or an art piece...be creative! Express what makes your neighborhood and community unique.

As a reward for the most creative invitation, the station will bring the Bruce Henry Band out to provide a fabulous evening of live jazz for your block party and Ken Davis Barbeque sauce for stuff you're grilling!

Many thanks go to Ken Davis Barbeque Products for sponsoring this Jazz88 National Night Out evening!

This is a great time to get together with your neighbors at an event you design just for your block. Give your neighbors a chance to get to know each other!

To be considered, send your creative Jazz88 National Night Out Block Party Invitation to:

Jazz88 KBEM
ATTN: Kevin Barnes
1555 James Ave. N
Mpls., MN 55411

Or e-mail your invite to KevinB@Jazz88fm.com
