Brookfield Goes Green at Brookfield Block Party

"BIOS IS LIFE"   MIND, BODY, SPIRIT, EARTH    We are all connected   Our goal: To create an international organization that is a model of social responsibility, making your life green, healthy and sustainable.

Steve Schappert of Bios Painting and Maintenance invites you to the BROOKFIELD BLOCK PARTY "BROOKFIELD GOES GREEN"

September 11-13 ONE TOWN, ONE PARTY, ONE GOAL...UNITED WE STAND!   The Goal:  Promote the town of Brookfield with a unified marketing effort, while educating the public about healthy, energy efficient living. It is possible to help people, save the planet and boost the economy. You can do well by doing good! Here it is in a nut shell: If every business in town rallies under one banner, "THE BROOKFIELD BLOCK PARTY" We show the world how great the town is. Everyone put your best foot forward and provide an extra reason for people to come and do business with you. Face painting here, popcorn there, live music on every corner. One town, one party, one goal... we all work together. Everyone in town that currently advertises on the radio, mention the Brookfield Block Party, TV, newspaper, Internet, direct mail whatever you do, mention the Brookfield Block party. I will have event signs made and approved by the zoning board. Special Event Signs are allowed to be up for 30 days before the event. As interest builds I MAY provide booth space under a tent or group of tents I operated this event 3 years in a row from 94'-96'   Keep it simple, invite your current clients and people you want to add to your list of friends, customers and associates. The compounded effect of every business in town running a special promotion will be substantial.  Brookfield does not have a town green, lets embrace who we are. If one business in a strip mall provides hot dogs another face painting, another popcorn. We will give people a reason to stop in and say hello while learning about our businesses.  Call one of our local bands and offer some live music...do one thing!   Some of the events that we created the last 3 times were: Live music, live radio telecast, DJ, hot air balloon, Chile contest, Fire truck display, custom/classic car show, talent shows, dance and martial arts displays, face painting, free balloons, raffles, sail boat race, inflatable moon bounce, health & wellness festival, Sidewalk Sales. The Sky's the limit let your imagination run wild! XBOX  / WII TOURNAMENTS, FRISBEE TOURNAMENTS, GOLF OUTING, KARAOKE.

• Old Grove gets face-lift - As the Grove Street/Route 67 project moves along just down the street, one of the New Milford's nearby streets is undergoing major reconstruction. Old Grove runs through a residential neighborhood and also happens to serve as a popular thoroughfare for hundreds of drivers traveling between Grove Street and Route 67.
