We are teaming up with the Family Resource Center to host a series of three “Picnic & Play” meet-ups on Fridays at parks in the North Country this summer. After listening to what families we were looking for, we came up with fun offerings at three different locations that will help bring people together and take advantage of our town’s assets. We will be offering free peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, applesauce, and cold bottled water for families to enjoy a picnic together, paired with fun things to do.
Our final get-together will be on August 7th (rescheduled from 8/9 due to rain) at the Canaan, VT Community Recreation Park on Route 102 near the Alice M. Ward Memorial Library. We’ll start off with lunch, which families can enjoy on a picnic blanket or chairs, and then everyone is welcome to enjoy the amenities of the park which include a great playground and a paved track for riding bikes or walking. We’ll pass out some pinwheels for the kids to have fun with, and caregivers will have ample time for visiting while the kids play.
We hope that these opportunities to gather will increase social connections in our communities, open up eyes to the wonderful places we have in our towns, and provide fun ways for families to enjoy time together this summer.
