Agenda of upcoming events:
We are asking this year that a family/families "host an event" from the agenda to lighten the lift. We already have the rental request in to Elwood Smith but we know the events could be more impactful if more hands were planning, sharing, setting up and taking down. Happy to provide more info and assistance: reach out to Patti Westenberg (pattiwestenberg@gmail.com) or on the Hungerford Facebook thread to claim your event.
Proposed dates currently open for HCA event hosting:
OPEN for anything reservation: Sunday March 9 - 5:30pm to 8 pm
OPEN Easter Egg Hunt Saturday April 19 - bring 6 take 6 - any park
OPEN for anything inside reservation Sunday April 26 9am to 12pm (historically this date has aligned with a neighborhood yard sale but we are not allowed to sell on the city property) - Becky Plante willing to partner
OPEN for anything - Sunday May 4 9am to 12 pm (Becky Plante)
Sunday May 4 (Outside we have used this date as the plant swap, inside is open)
