News of the week
The month of June is halfway done and the stupendous spring sports programs and events offered at the Gus Canty Community Center have sadly come to an end. The summer camp schedules are finally shaping up and lately, the weather is following suit. Falmouth residents are truly appreciating this time of year, especially after enduring such an overwhelming winter. Every day, more people are walking, running, and riding their bicycles and the beach parking lots are starting to fill up with eager summertime enthusiasts. With the imminent conclusion of the school year becoming a reality once again, the children will be out and about, embracing their wonderful beach town. Let’s remember that our population nearly triples every summer, so please drive carefully. “Slow is pro” is my motto. Stop and smell the roses because it won’t be here forever. Remember, we live in New England, so this serene weather is unfortunately, transient. Without further ado, don’t forget your sunscreen and enjoy reading about the following summer programs offered through the Falmouth Recreation Department.
