It’s been a good summer with some great Yard of the Month winners, even if it has been dry and a challenge to keep our park watered. Now that fall is upon us, we are all looking forward to October Fest in the park on October 8th and the semi-annual Garage Sale on October 15th. The social committee will take a break during November. But come December watch for the annual Christmas Cookie Exchange and night of caroling.

The Board has been discussing making better use of our park by adding recreation facilities such as horseshoe pit, volleyball court, and exercise stations. We’ve even discussed creating a vegetable garden area, and planting additional flowers and trees. The park is our primary expense for mowing and watering, so when we convert a grassy area to something more functional, we also save in ongoing expenses. If you have ideas for making better use of our park, I invite you to them to Board Meetings the second Thursday of each month.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all at October Fest where I will be playing disc jockey with a custom-compiled CD of great Polkas. So bring your dancing shoes!
