I was able to determine (with close reading) that you do NOT want me to roll these two events into one party.  I'd really rather do grilled pizza and strawberry shortcake with "beer, hamburgers, sausages, a leafy green salad and a potato salad" on the side. I could easily make sure the beer is all local beer! The watermelon should really wait until the Hermiston melons are on in a few more weeks!
What do you think?
