A Spectacular Summer
I cannot believe that it is September! This summer has flown by so quickly, but as I reflect on all the amazing things we have done, it’s easy to see why!
We discovered dinosaurs during day camp in Readstown, sung sea shanties at 4-H camp, played games at Summer Social, rode horses, planted an orchard, trained agility dogs, and so much more! Here’s to a new year that starts today! Make sure to re-enroll, as it’s now open!
