CELEBRATE!

Easton enjoys Parks and Recreation Month this July

Since 1985, July has been celebrated as the nation’s official Park and Recreation Month. Created by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Park and Recreation Month specifically highlights the essential and powerful role local park and recreation professionals — such as our staff at Town of Easton — play in building stronger, more vibrant and more resilient communities all across the country.

This July, we will celebrate the vital role park and recreation professionals play in bringing people together, providing essential services and fostering the growth of our communities.

In Easton, we will celebrate Park and Recreation Month by spreading awareness on our social media channels. Each week, in association with Discover Easton and Talbot County, we will be highlighting each of our Town’s major park attractions, as well as recognizing each of our Parks and Recreation employees.

Additionally, Friday, July 21 is National Parks and Recreation Professionals day, and we will recognize our Parks and Recreation team with a small luncheon.

“July is the perfect time to share how our park and recreation professionals in Easton contribute to the overall health, well-being and growth of our community,” said Communications Specialist Greg Mueller. “We encourage everyone in Town to come celebrate the beauty and the power of parks and recreation with us this July.”

NRPA encourages everyone who supports parks and recreation to share how it has impacted their lives with the hashtag #wherecommunitygrows. For more information, visit www.nrpa.org/July.

Buildings & Facilities

Little Library

Here we have a quick look at the handiwork of Mike Thume. At the request of Parks and Recreation Director Lorraine Gould, Mike began construction on a “Little Library” for public use in Moton Park.

As always, Mike did phenomenal work on the project and added a little of his own per- sonal flair (see the chimney).

The structure is available for any residents or passers by who would like to donate a book by leaving it inside, or for them to take and read something donated. It has already seen plenty of use in just a few weeks since its installation! Great work Mike!
