Hi everyone.
We have several garden activities planted this month that you won't want to miss! We continue to slide into the week on Monday nights with lots of cool water splashing fun and on Wednesday's, we break for Garden Gritz with thyme for the kidz at 6! No cooking on Friday, July 29th (postponed from the 16th) as we join together to feast at our Tomato Sandwich Dinner from 6-8 in the fellowship hall. On Sunday, July 31st (originally scheduled for the 10th) from 2-4:30, we welcome Ron Vietel from Saxapahaw General Store for Part II of our summer series "Nurturing our Nutrition".
The kids will have a BLAST the week of July 17-21 with an "out of this world" vacation bible school planned with Concord UMC. Galactic-Blast takes off on Sunday, the 17th and continues through the week beginning with a provided meal at 5:45 pm followed by a full spaceship of discoveries, stories, singing, dancing, crafting, and praising God! The activities conclude each night at 8:30 and there will be a special performance by the kids on Sunday morning, the 24th followed by a covered dish fellowship luncheon. For more information, please contact Commander Kevin Miller at kevin.c.miller@duke.edu. Please note that because of all the cosmic activity happening that week, we will not have our Monday night splash night, nor Kidz Thyme scheduled, however, the garden WILL be open and hoping for visitors by the parents of the Jr. Astronauts!
Looking ahead on the calendar for August, we finalize our summer series with a canning class presented by the Alamance County Extension Agency in the afternoon of the 20th as we practice with some of our own harvested tomatoes and cucumbers. On the 26th, we share our favorite garden recipes with each other and the community at our 3rd Annual Harvest Celebration Dinner. All of our dates can be found on our blog (thegardenofconcord.blogspot.com) and the details for our garden events will be provided in succession!
Thank you everyone for a great summer and your continued support of our garden! It WILL be good!
-Donna
