MANAGER’S MESSAGE The holiday season is upon us and the staff of Richland Parks and Public Facilities is excited to round out 2022 with loads of programs, fun, and events for our citizens and visitors!

The Richland Public Library has recently introduced the Tumbleweed Tourist Attraction Pass Program offering library card holders the opportunity to check out attraction passes online!

Swing by the library to learn more about the pass or visit http://www.ci.richland.wa.us/tumbleweedtourist.

The Richland Seniors Association have reestablished their regular 3rd Friday Dances! Polish those dancing shoes and get ready to cut a rug on Friday, Nov 18th and Friday, December 16th at 1pm at the Richland Community Center! Watch RSA’s website (www.richlandseniorsassociation.com) and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RichSrAssn/events) for the latest and greatest from this wonderful organization serving Seniors in our area.

Richland’s Recreation team has recruited a new instructor to provide two new inviting fitness classes for folks “of all ages, and in all stages” as the instructor likes to say: Chair Yoga & Chair Aerobics! These classes are perfect for those who are looking to improve their fitness after taking some time off from exercise or returning after an injury. Exercises are designed to be adaptable for all levels of fitness to meet you at your level and provide a solid workout for all!

What would December be without our annual Winter Wonderland events and activities! The HAPO Festival of Lights dancing light show returns to John Dam Plaza with a better-than-ever kick-off event on Friday, December 2, 2022 where we light up the park for the holiday season! The kick-off event at John Dam Plaza is followed by lots of festive fun down at Howard Amon Park and the Richland Community Center with food vendors, musical performances, photos with Santa, BINGO!, Train Rides on the J&S Express, lighted holiday displays along Lee Blvd, and the Clover Island Yacht Club lighted boat parade with a FIREWORKS show to cap off the evening!

Saturday, December 3rd, the Community Center and Howard Amon Park will host all the same activities as Friday! Two nights of Holiday Fun! The dancing lights will dazzle your eyes each night from 5-9pm through January 2, 2023, and each year we sneak in all sorts of family-friendly activities throughout the month of December. Check out our calendar at www.richlandparksandrec.com and be sure to follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/richlandparksandrecreation!

Sports Concussion and Head Injuries A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury—or TBI— caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells. Medical providers may describe a concussion as a “mild” brain injury because concussions are usually not life-threatening. Even so, the effects of a concussion can be serious. For current information on concussions, please visit www.cdc.gov/headsup/
