A cheerful and friendly crowd turned out for the Sumner Association of Neighbors (SAN) annual barbecue Tueseday night. Like other Portland neighborhoods, SAN holds its barbecue on Neighbors Night Out — the anti-crime holiday — each August.
At least 50 people of all ages made their way to the Central Northeast Neighbors office on NE 87th for some burgers, hot dogs, pop, chips, and even some home made treats. The weather was great, and neighbors came early and stayed put to chat and make new friends.

Fire station #12 firefighters cruised by in their truck, and Portland Police — including neighborhood response officers Eric Zajac and Amanda McMillan — attended.
Quite a few revellers were new to Sumner neighborhood, and it was great to have them attend. Our neighborhood survey last year showed about a third of our residents are new to Sumner within the last five years. It’d be great if we can keep bring ‘em in.

SAN wants to thank CNN for offering the use of their parking lot for this event. It was a great central location for neighbors to walk to from both sides of NE Sandy Boulevard.
