Hey neighbor,

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's time to move your turkey to the fridge! Skip the frozen turkey centerpiece. General rule of thumb:

20 to 24 lbs move to the fridge the Friday before Thanksgiving
16 to 19 lbs move to the fridge the Saturday before Thanksgiving
12 to 15 lbs move to the fridge the Sunday before Thanksgiving
4 to 11 lbs move to the fridge the Monday before Thanksgiving

Let the Thanksgiving prop begin!

Pardon Our Dust! A Quick Community Update

Just a quick heads-up that the Recreation Center at 321 Ramp Rd. will be closed December 1–5 while we give the floors a fresh new look.

We also wanted to share a bit about what’s happening in our parks:

Bicentennial Park – construction is still underway
Ramp Road Park – still in progress
McNabb Park (Dempsey Rd.) – currently closed for construction

We know it can be hard to wait, but these improvements will make our parks even better! In the meantime, please stay clear of fenced-off areas and construction materials, they’re not safe to climb on.

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more news!
