Sparklers on the 4th of July!  Even simple activities can benefit from the Barreltop.  The children come back to the table to deposit the burned out wire into the trashcan and relight the next one with the candle.
Take the kids and the Barreltop to the park!  Every picnic site usually has a table, a grill, and yes - a trashcan.  Use a trashbag first, then set-up your Barreltop "Party Tray" - (we give it lots of different names).  Not too close to the fire, but close to the action.  The Barreltop provides a convenient place to rest your drink so you can get another burger or hot dog!
One of the best things about summer!  - Water melons sure are good - but they can make a mess of your picnic table.  The top is slick - so be careful with the knife - Cut-up the sections and push the scraps into the trash.
Next to the grill - The Barreltop holds a basket of breads and the ketchup & mustard.  Use a clean trashcan and a trash bag - these are always helpful when you are having a party!
