Plan a Picnic in the Park
If you have little ones, you can start the summer with a new family routine that will give you something to look forward to each week. Enjoy a family-oriented picnic in the park every Tuesday. The picnics will have live music and themed activities for kids that your little one will adore. This month you can enjoy Flag Day, Selfie Day, Beach Day, or all three. Each picnic is held in Memorial Park from 11:30 to 1:30. You can bring a basket full of goodies or purchase a picnic lunch from local vendors.
