Good morning,

Our next Walton Wednesday is just 2 sleeps away. June 10. Get ready to gather your kids and their friends to spend a few hours outside in the Park.
This one also starts at 10 am but this time you don't have to pack a lunch. We are supplying lunch, hotdogs, and chips, and ice pops as part of the experience.
Our topic will be " Things that live in our pond" . Always fun for the kids, and us adults, to realize how many critters start their bug life in the water.
These events are "Rain or Shine".
As usual this event is open to the public, so tell your extended family and neighbors. We look forward to these days and meeting new kids.

Tomorrow is the day, we are ready to spend the day having fun and meeting new friends.
We are aware that the W**e & Craft festival is also happening tomorrow. But we have an idea, Mom's and Dad's bring the kids out to Izaak Walton for the morning. They will spend a few hours fishing and eating and doing crafts in the fresh air and around 1:00 ish they should be good and tired. That's when you drop them off with the Grandparents and you guyd go to the W**e Festival and enjoy some w**e and good food peacefully.

Just a thought, and a morning at Izaak Walton won't cost you a thing.

See you at the Park.
