What's New in Abell
Abell Centennial
1911-2011
To celebrate the 100th birthday of our neighborhood we are throwing THE PARTY OF THE CENTURY Abell-style on Saturday June 18th at 6PM in the Abell Open Space.
About the event
We will have a sit-down gourmet meal that includes butlered hors d’oeuvres, wine, beer, and live music. Our menu includes local fare - Neopol Savory Smokery appetizers, Woolsey Farm roast beef, vegan and vegetarian dishes, Shelley Treadway’s centennial cupcakes and much more.
Residents are encouraged to wear fanciful, festive attire from any decade they chose.
We will also premiere the centennial video produced by Abell residents Janet & Tim Kahoe, who interviewed former and current residents about what makes Abell special.
The event will take place in the Abell Open Space. In case of rain, it will be held at Huntingdon Baptist Church located at the corner of 31st and Barclay avenue.
Getting your ticket
Please note: in order to accurately plan for this event, we need everyone who wants to come to get their advance tickets by June 4th (we need to know how much food to buy, and we need to rent equipment like tables, chairs, place settings, etc.) After June 4th, a very limited number of tickets will be available, so please get your tickets early.
We have set aside two dates for in-person ticket sales.
Tickets are available for sale (cash or check) on the front porch of 3218 Abell Avenue on:
· Saturday May 14th from 9:30 – 11:30 AM· Sunday May 22nd from 1:00 – 3:00 PM
All residents who purchase tickets on Saturday May 14th will be entered into a raffle to win a free Abell Community t-shirt.
Ticket price
While we have received generous donations to offset the cost of this celebration, we are selling tickets to cover remaining expenses. Your ticket price includes a full meal – appetizers, entrée with side dishes, dessert, 2 drink vouchers (including alcoholic beverages), and live music. When you purchase your ticket in advance, you will also receive a commemorative letterpress printed postcard with original centennial art work donated by graphic artist Bill Nelson and generously printed by Abell residents Kyle & Kim from Baltimore Print Studios.
