Join Your Neighbors for an Excellent Time

Treats: Grab a FREE King of Pops treat while supplies last. CHCA bought out the cart, but those bicycles limit the quantities available. Baked items will also be on offer!

Music: Practice your beats and join the Drum Circle! Interesting rhythm and percussion will keep all neighbors hopping.

Games: Kids will find jump ropes, spaces for chalk art, and others to play with. If we can find the face paints, we will have that, also! Word on the street is that the Rock Lady returns to help you paint new stony gems.

Arts and Crafts: Some are selling, others are telling. Find out how to take up a new hobby like crochet or painting, ask a craftsman how they do their thing, or buy something cute for Mom. (Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11 . . .)

Garden Tour: Learn about native plants in one of our area's best yard!
