....to chat with local workers, old friends, as well as new friends....
....to brush up on safety and good gardening practices....
....to stroll down memory lane where face painting and balloon animals once were cherished moments....
....to grab Frisbees, chip clips, pens and pencils, and to partake of delicious snacks provided each year....

More than anything, it is just one more opportunity to carry on traditions begun long ago, and to spend more time together. Is there anything better than this?
