Come help prep projects for the kids
at this Saturday's Firehouse Cafe!

The Art On the Porches Committee invites any interested neighbors to stop by the Firebarn during Cafe hours (9-11am) this Saturday, August 29 to help draw the house outlines that will be used as painting canvasses at the Art on the Porches event on September 12.

Anybody can help (no talent required) and your efforts will get things ready for the kids to participate in art projects at the upcoming Art on the Porches. You will be using sharpies, big paper rolls, double sided tape and yard sign to prep the boards for Art On the Porches. You can see the outlines in the picture above that the kids will later use to paint. Many hands make light work, it will be fun to do it together, and there will be coffeee and bagels to enjoy.

Fun in Onondaga Park this Saturday!

YOGA IN THE PARK: (at the Gazebo): Saturdays thru August 15, 9am
(FREE but registration required - space is limited).
Provided by Syracuse Parks & Rec and led by Strathmore neighbor, Liz Petrone.
For more information and to register for classes visit https://syracuse.recdesk.com/Community/Program?category=20

Kayak for FREE on Hiawatha Lake (weather permitting)
Courtesy of Syracuse Parks & Rec, you can kayak on Hiawatha Lake in Upper Onondaga Park—free for the next few Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM (last rental at 1:30 PM). Syracuse Parks staff will provide single or double kayaks, paddles, and life vests, and get you ready for a relaxing ride around the lake. No registration required—just show up and sign up on-site.
First come, first served. Look for them at the new concrete ramp near the northeast corner of the bathhouse.

Enjoy Strathmore Saturdays, when the park roads get closed to traffic on Saturday mornings in the summer. It makes it much more enjoyable and safer to bike, run, rollerblade, or stroll.
