We apologize but due to the heat advisory in effect the Adult Summer Reading Challenge: Vertical Herb Garden is canceled.

Save your 28 oz tomato cans, because we’re going to need them for our last program. Using old
cupboard doors, tin cans and a bit of wire, we’re going to make a vertical herb garden. Participants can choose from a variety of herb starts.

Wednesday, August 11, 2021 from 6-7pm.  Rain or shine: rain we'll see you on the porch, sunny we'll see you in the courtyard.

We’re miniaturizing cornhole! We’ll be making tabletop-sized cornhole games using recycled cardboard  boxes and will also supply the materials for a set of bean bags.  Who will be the cornhole champ in your family?
