Good Morning, Neighbors!

And don’t forget about Trucktober tomorrow from 11:00-2:00 on the Common and Miles for Mental Health on Sunday at 10:00 at the middle school track (free tickets are sold out, but you can join the waitlist at the link!). I hope to see you at both free, family-friendly events!

Sculpture Park to Welcome Back Red Trouser Show

The Sculpture Park Committee is excited to offer a multi-modal entertainment experience for their 2023 autumn event. Combining activities from the last two years, the Park is welcoming back the very popular Red Trouser Show performers AND providing free pumpkin painting for kids and adults to participate in.

The Red Trouser Show is a performance group based out of New Hampshire that wows audiences of all ages with their acrobatic feats. In fact, their appearance at the Sculpture Park in November of 2021 was one of the most popular events in the Park’s three-year history. Let’s fill the park on October 28 and have a morning of fun, creativity, and entertainment. Read more below.
