Bratwursts and burgers were the main meal at its Labor Day party. Sparky Pashkow and Greg Bodkin manned the grill outside while Karen Pashkow and Connie DiMaggio set up red, white and blue decorations in the clubhouse to get everyone in the spirit.
About 30 residents attended the party for Sparky Pashkow's grilling and laughter with their neighbors. They raved about Bodkin's homemade desserts which included red, white and blue cupcakes and brownies.
Bodkin said he has loved baking all his life and was excited to make it for his friends at Longboat Harbour. Bodkin currently works at the Publix bakery in his retirement.
Pashkow said that this Labor Day party was perfect for spending it with their close friends and catching up while the summer is coming to a close.
"We have been living here for 20 years now," said resident Al Fischbein. "The people are just amazing. You can just tell from parties like this. Even though it's small because we are out of season, we still have great food and a lot of fun."
