Celebrating in Gilberts
The village is small enough that neighbors know each other, and block-style gatherings, school events and church functions are part of the calendar. Many lots in newer subdivisions are generous, making tent parties easy, while older farm properties on the village's edges give room for ceremonies and dinners on one site. Gravel drives and field edges are common, so ask how close a truck can get to the setup area.
Generous lots host tent parties for graduations, showers and birthdays.
Heating & cooling here: Propane patio heaters need clearance from tent walls, trees and eaves. Plan one heater per 10 to 12 guests on a cold night.
