Upcoming Events
Join your neighbors at the park on Saturday, October 17th, for an evening of food, games, and fall fun! The festivities kick off at 4:00 p.m. with a bounce house, yard games, kids’ games, fresh popcorn and music.
Around 5:30 we’ll have brats, burgers, and hotdogs. There will be chips, water, and soda available as well. Feel free to bring your own beverage of choice, and if you’d like, a dish or dessert to share with neighbors.
Straw bales and picnic tables will be set up, but we encourage you to bring a lawn chair or blanket for extra comfort. Don’t forget to grab a goodie bag for the kids to take home at the end of the night!
Come out, enjoy the crisp fall air, and connect with your neighbors.
