Summertime

July 7th, 2010

“When summertime comes it’s a celebration, people gettin’ out all across the nation and it seems like everybody’s gettin’ together. There’s music playin’ everywhere you go, got Dandy Dan talkin’ on the radio and it seems like everybody’s diggin’ that hot summer weather. Well, California sun shines all the time, but East Coast summers are a different kind, doesn’t last as long so it means a little bit more…it’s a Syracuse summer, everybody’s under the sun, oh yeah.” (Gary Frenay & the Neverly Bros.)
When temps are warm in July and August, the Town Shop reduces building hours to just two days per week (Mondays and Tuesdays from 5-10pm) so that we can get outdoors and do MANY other things.

    If we get rained out we will try to reschedule. Also, if temps are in the 90s the Town Shop building will probably be CLOSED and we’ll look for some place to cool off instead….if in doubt, phone. Activities that involve travel require sign up. MORE EXPERIENCES MAY BE ANNOUNCED AS SUMMER UNFOLDS. (ps Melissa Ahern from CMS will be working with us some days this summer…come welcome her :)
