Art in the Park is around the corner...

The performers are signed up, the art projects are planned, and the lists are made...We are getting ready for our 3rd Annual Art in the Park at Choate Park in Medway. The event will be held on Saturday May 31st from 10-2 with a rain date of Sunday June 1st. The performers and artists this year include Jenny the Juggler, musicians Dale Freeman, Elaine Kessler, and Ronda Matson in addition to local author and illustrator Judith Moffatt. We are doing a few things differently for Art in the Park this year. First of all we are having free admission to the park to see the performers and to come see what the artisans and crafters have for sale. Tickets will be available for sale in the tennis court for children to participate in the Art Court which will contain 10+ art activities for children in addition to face painting, tattoos and balloons for sale. We hope you can join us for the fun! If you are an artist looking to sell your wares please email us at choatefriends@yahoo.com. If you are a volunteer interested in helping at the art booths or in painting or performing in the park please email us as well. Looking forward to another art-filled day at Choate Park!

Thanks for taking care of Choate Park in honor of Earth Day!

Thanks to all the people who came to Choate Park on their first day of Spring Vacation to help clean up the park. We got a lot accomplished in 3 short hours with 30 + bags of yard waste hauled away, countless pieces of trash picked up, the gardens and grass raked and cleaned up, the playground toys washed and cleaned and the sandbox filled. Thanks to all the Girl Scout troops and their leaders and family members for all your help and efforts! As always we appreciate everything little thing you do to help! Happy Earth Day! FOCP
