Five Points Biergarten

When: Sunday, May 19th, 3-7pm

Where: Five Points Alley off Gilbert Ave.

Beginning on Sunday, May 19, from 3 to 7 pm, the first in a series of “pop up biergartens” will take place at the intersection of five distinct alleyways between Gilbert and Copelen Streets in Walnut Hills. This unique area is currently being reclaimed from years of neglect and abandonment, in the process transforming it into a viable, public event and green space in the heart of Walnut Hills. As the summer progresses, groups of volunteers will continue to descend upon and transform this space into a sustainable asset for the community.

• Would you like to have breakfast with a great group of folks at our historic Stowe House?
• Would you like to help support our historic Stowe House with a financial contribution that won’t cost you a penny?

We will be a runner feed station on MLK as the 1’2 marathoners approach the Gilbert Avenue turn. This volunteer station will prepare and distribute orange slices to the runners as they pass by.

Once the runners have all rounded the corner of MLK at Gilbert, we will clean up the station and proceed to the Stowe House where the president of the Board of the Friends of Stowe (our very own Chris DeSimeo) will prepare a breakfast repast that will be envy of all.

This is a limited time opportunity for a few willing volunteers. Our volunteer sign up ends on April 24. So don’t get left out. Sign up NOW!
