Hello Friends,

Hello Friends,
Happy Fall! Fall is definitely one of the most beautiful times of the year. We are very excited to see the
changing colors of the trees and the coolness of the weather. I hope you all enjoyed your summer time
activities with family and friends. We truly enjoyed our summer here in the parks, and enjoyed seeing all of
you out enjoying what the Sandwich Park District has to offer. This summer we offered numerous fun
programs and events. As always, we have an amazing turnout for our Freedom Day’s Parade and Fireworks. It
warmed my heart to see so many of Sandwich’s residents out celebrating our country’s independence!
Although the summer is coming to an end, its time to get excited and ready for our fall and early winter
activities.

Throughout this guide you will find many of your favorite fall events and even some new ones to add to the
list. Each year the park district hosts a Harvest Moon Hayride event right here at Knights Park. This event is
sure to put you in the fall mood with a traditional hayride experience. We will also be having a fire pit, free
snacks, Halloween cartoons, a bounce house, and a flashlight Egg Hunt. For more information please see the
full description in this guide. Also, this fall we will once again be hosting our Youth Basketball Leagues. Our
youth leagues are a great way to start your child into the exciting sport of Basketball. Your child will begin
learning the fundamentals and get the opportunity to play in a traditional rec league.

As we are getting through fall, winter is not far behind. Although most of us do not like the weather, I think all
of us enjoy the family times and lasting traditions the holidays bring. We hope some of those traditions this
year will include attending some of the family fun events we offer. This year we will once again be partnering
with Xtreme Team to offer a Holiday Light Tour. Residents can enter their decorated house and families will
have the opportunity to tour the town and see all the beautiful lights Sandwich has to offer. For the holiday
shopper in the family, the Sandwich Park District will also once again offer our annual Holiday Lane Craft
Show. Located at the Sandwich High School, this craft show offers shoppers the opportunity to purchase
locally made goods that are sure to impress!

We hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season!
