Whether you are a “summer is slipping through my fingers” type or a “I dread another Northeast Ohio winter” type, realizing it’s August can bring on a state of panic. Back-to-school sales, end-of-summer cookouts, and Labor Day planning mean the lazy days of summer are waning and winter snow is just around the corner.
The good news is there is still time to enjoy sunny days and warm nights. Sully’s has everything you need to savor the last of the summer with friends and family with a quiet family cookout or a backyard bash, pot-luck with the neighbor or a neighborhood block party, or plan a gathering at the nearest park.
The key is getting out your list of “things I want to do before summer is over” and start planning.
Target Labor Day
More than 60% of people who plan to celebrate Labor Day anticipate grilling, so don’t skimp. Make sure your grill is up to the task by cleaning it up and checking your propane supply. If your grill is not quite big enough to accommodate your guest list, Sully’s has 2’ x 5’ propane or charcoal grills or an 18” x 36” propane griddle available for rent, so you can plan brunch, lunch, or dinner and serve a crowd.
Since this may be your last summer party, plan to keep your guests outside by making the cooking and serving part of the event. Sully’s has what you need to take the food preparation where your guests are.
- Propane burners along with stock pots and steamers for the ultimate seafood boil.
- A towable pig spit to set up that pig roast you have been planning to host all summer.
- Food carriers, chafing dishes, and serving trays, a salad bar draining tray, and a 6’ ice table to keep the food and beverages at the ready for hungry guests.
- Don’t worry about the weather with tents of various sizes and cool air movers to keep guests comfortable.
Make a regular day special
Invite neighbors over for a clam bake and movie night. With Sully’s 60-quart clam steamer and propane burner you can host a complete clam feast, add a few potluck side dishes, and turn a basic dinner into something special. Follow up with a movie in your backyard with an inflatable movie screen or projector screen from Sully’s and complete it with a multi-media projector and sound system. Don’t forget Sully’s popcorn machine for that classic movie snack.
On the next hot August day, plan a cooling station or mini block party in the neighborhood with frozen treats for all ages. Sully’s frozen margarita drink machine and Sno-Kone machine are perfect on a hot day. Add Sully’s hot dog machine and nacho cheese dispenser for an instant summer lunch event.
Giant Jenga, Connect 4, and corn hole always make a regular summer day special. Call Sully’s for everything you need for an afternoon of games.
