RE-SHARING. EDITED ORIGINAL POST TO REFLECT THAT MICHELLE PARMALEE AND HER PHOTO BOOTH WILL NO LONGER BE AT THE BLOCK PARTY, DUE TO UNFORSEEN SCHEDULING CONFLICT. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE!

EDIT - UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS, MICHELLE PARMALEE IS UNABLE TO ATTEND THE BLOCK PARTY AND THEREFORE, NO PROFESSIONAL FALL PHOTO BOOTH WILL BE AVAILABLE.

THE EMH HOUSEKEEPING TEAM WILL HAVE THE GROUNDS DECORATED FOR THE EVENT AND WE ENCOURAGE FAMILIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DECORATIONS FOR PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POSE IN FRONT OF THE FALL DECORATIONS AND TAKE PHOTOS OF YOUR FAMILY. IF YOU SEE AN EMH BLOCK PARTY WORKER - DON'T HESITATE TO ASK THEM TO SNAP A PHOTO FOR YOU!

We are just a little under 1 month out from the 2026 EMH Community Block Party!

We are excited to kickstart this year's Vendor Spotlight Posts. To get us started, we are featuring Michelle's Hobby Photography by Michelle Parmalee! If you're in need of some updated photos, Michelle has you covered!

Michelle will have a photography booth at the Block Party - no appointment needed! Stop by any time for a quick photo sessions where you will get 3-5 digital image downloads for $20! The set up will be fall-themed (think pumpkins, hay bales, and mums). Michelle's photos were a BIG hit last year, so be sure to stop by and get some photos taken!
