The Last Days of Summer

The sun is still burning off the fog but there is a chill in the air, the early leaves are turning and school starts next week. We had SO much fun closing out Creekside at the Community Center last week with Marble Party! Now it's time to head down to the Cabin for Creekside Unplugged. Join us next week for the Fog Burners! Remember to bring a picnic, something yummy to drink and a blanket or a chair to sit on. We'll have some benches out and the picnic tables but we won't be serving beverages or food at this event. We are getting all our fall plans made and looking forward to all the fun things ahead - save the date for Oktoberfest on September 21st!

Enjoy the last lazy days of summer and we'll see you at the Cabin soon!

Have a wonderful weekend!
