Every summer, we have a contest in our neighborhood, to see who can spend the least amount of money organizing a fun and exciting group event. This is a great way to bring families closer together. A lot of people have tried block parties and potluck dinners.
Those types of events are fun, but they are not really extraordinary. This year we won the contest. We were able to get even more votes than all of the other participating families combined together. I bet you are wondering what we did to make such a big impression.
It paid off, as we won the competition by quite a wide margin, something that has not been done before, or at least not for a long time. The idea that I came up with was an outdoor movie night, which is not always the easiest thing to pull off in this part of the country.
I live in Syracuse, NY. So the darkness of the outside was great for an outdoor movie. Any outdoor event is usually a hit in these parts, and we have learned to make the most of those all too rare summer evenings.
It was not expensive at all and everyone loved it. We are probably going to end up doing this a few times each summer from now on. It did not look too bad, and it was cheap and easy to do.
All that I had to do was connect the projector to my laptop computer, then with one click, the movie started. You do not have to be a technical wizard to use this equipment. There are no hard skills to learn. Everything is very easy. I am very glad of that, because I am not that good with technical things. This just made me look such as a pro.
My children really loved the outdoor movie night that we created. They keep asking for us to do it again. Once it starts getting colder here, it is just as easy to show the film indoors as outdoors.
