What is the Doldrums of Winter?

With little to anticipate until spring, the Doldrums of Winter is the neighborhood party (that is not a “neighborhood party”) that gives you something to look forward to. By mixing up your usual get together with a bit of quirky fun, the Doldrums of Winter is unlike any event you’ve ever attended. With a family-friendly slant, the spotlight shines on the dumb and silly things you never knew your neighbors and friends can do.

Bring your family, obscure talent and something delicous to share. Prizes will be awarded for the best casserole and the most obscure talent.

What does one do at the Doldrums of Winter?

The Doldrums of Winter features:

  • Obscure Talents (family friendly of course)
  • Casserole Cookoff/Potluck
  • Maypole (hope for spring)
  • Bounce House

With voting for the most obscure of talents and the best casserole, you could leave a winner. With a bounce house and a maypole to boot, the Doldrums of Winter has something for everyone in the family.

Real vs. Obscure Talents

True talent is truly awe inspiring. However, this is not a party about true talent. Instead, the Doldrums of Winter celebrates the weird, quirky and obscure. So bring something nice and obscure (and family friendly of course). As prizes will be awarded for various obscure categories, you could win something totally lame 🙂
