NEWLANDS GREENLANDS COMMUNITY EVENTS CALENDAR FOR 2009:

End of Summer Picnic

Celebrate the end of Summer and the season’s bounty of fresh, delicious food with your neighbors. Make this a LOW CARBON, ZERO WASTE PICNIC by planning a picnic dinner for your family using only local products from the farmers market or your garden.  Use reusable or recyclable picnicware, and WALK OR RIDE YOUR BIKE TO THE PARK!
Saturday August 22, 5 to 8 pm - North Boulder Park

Sprouting pumpkin!

Harvest Pumpkin Carving

We will meet at the park shelter with the pumpkins we hopefully grew from seeds started at the Spring Picnic!  Local farm pumpkins can be used if necessary.  We will have a carving contest so start that pumpkin seed early!
date to be determined (sometime in October)

Climate Action Film

Please join us for a neighborhood Sunday afternoon movie.  This will be a great opportunity for conversation about what we can do in our neighborhood to take action on climate change.
showtime and film TBA - Boulder Bible Chapel at 7th and Evergreen

All events are free and open to all Newlands residents.  Check here for schedule changes.

My Pumpkin Plant

NEWS:
My grandson’s pumpkin seed (started at the Spring Picnic) has sprouted!  I planted it in a spot outside my window where we can watch it grow and remember to give it lots of water.  We’ll be entering our pumpkin in the Fall Havest Carving Contest.  Read more about this event in the 2009 calendar of events above!
