Public Works Open House
We have looked forward to our Public Works Open House each year since the kids were little tiny smidges. Now that they are grown...we still look forward to walking down to the newly redesigned Public Works....
....to see the big, and not so big, machines....
....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....
Finally, filled with cake, popcorn, soda and enormous bags of goodies, the walk home begins....
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?
