Yesterday she spent the afternoon building a giant 4x8 easel. Staff is coming up with a Village mural, something outlined, to print on the plotter so we can make it fit on the easel and people can participate while they are enjoying Art in the Park.

If available, please come out on Sunday from 12 -3 p.m. in the Memorial Tree Walk. On September 23rd our Annual Potato Fest will be held in Central Park., We will again have all the potato themed food vendors, games, family fun time and the Blast From The Past band.

On August 9th the Grundy Chamber hosted a ribbon cutting for Thrive Dance Project. Its a beautiful facility and is much bigger than it looks from the outside. We wish them luck.
