“Parrots Block Party” coming to downtown Madison this Saturday

MADISON – Get ready for a fun block party in downtown Madison this weekend. Rotary Club of Madison is bringing what promises to be an afternoon of laughter and relaxation with its “Parrots Block Party”.

The block party’s venue will be Home Place Park in downtown Madison. The party this Saturday, June 6, will run from 2 to 4 p.m.

“Rotary Club of Madison has hosted ‘Parrots’ in some form or fashion since 2005, so this will be our 22nd Parrots!” event chair and Rotarian Debbie Overcash said. “Now, we have the Parrots Block Party – a fun-filled, family-friendly event completely free, games for all ages and raffle tickets for amazing prizes,” Overcash said.

Parrots Block Party is the perfect place for people to wear their island-themed shirts and flipflops and gather to relax to the tropical sounds, Overcash said. Downtown merchants will welcome block-partiers to shop in their diverse selection of merchandise.

Parking is free at Madison City Schools Stadium.

A Couch Potato Race will be a hilarious sofas-on-wheels race that will generate laughs. Individuals can organize a team, modify a couch potato’s beloved sofa and compete. The firstplace entry will receive $100 per team member ($400 maximum). First place also will receive a trophy, as will the “Best Couch Theme.”
