King of the Q: Host a great summer barbecue

A summertime barbecue is one of life’s great pleasures. It’s the best way to enjoy the gorgeous weather along with fresh, locally grown produce and other seasonal favorites.

Here are some terrific tips for planning your summer barbecue:

Set the stage for a relaxed event

• Keep things casual. Let guests know that t-shirts and shorts are the extent of your dress requirements.
• Set your table outside with colorful placemats and informal dinnerware.
• Plates should be large enough to fit burgers and sandwiches, kebabs, corn-on-the-cob and salads, all of which take extra room.
• Dress your table with fresh-cut flowers from your garden or small annual plants from a local nursery.

Fun outdoor activities

Sometimes the food is enough to keep your guests busy at a summer barbecue. But if you’re planning an extended party, there are so many fun outdoor activities such as:

• Volleyball
• Croquet
• Badminton
• Bocce
• Horseshoes
• Ring toss
• Frisbee
• Softball
