Town of Danville Summer 2023 Activity Guide

STEP INTO A STORY!

The sun is finally here to stay! That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. After months of rampant rain, cold frigid days, and a spring that didn’t feel so springy, the time has finally come to soak up all the Vitamin D-producing rays we can. This summer, we invite you to step into a story of your own as you enjoy the sun’s warmth and the Town’s various recreation and art activities.

As for our tradition of the summer top ten list, this year we offer you some of our department staff’s favorite reads (in no particular order but, sort of)! These are books so good that if we could read them for the first time again, we undoubtedly would reach for them.

Favorite Reads Top Ten List

11. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

10. Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling

9. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

8. Emma by Jane Austen

7. Misery by Stephen King

6. The Other Wes More: One Name, Two Fates by Wes Moore

5. The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer

4. Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice by Maureen McCormick

3. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

2. Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand

1. Dad Jokes, Terribly Good Dad Jokes by Share the Love Gifts

As you may be aware, we strive to make lives better here in Danville, and we took extra care to keep that in mind when planning this activity guide. While you’re here, please take some time to flip through the pages of this guide and find some fun for you and the whole family. We also challenge you to visit our beautiful parks this sunny season — where you can play or read under a tree, on a bench, or while waiting to enter your camp or class. So, grab your next captivating “park” read, and we’ll see you outside.

Stay Sunny, Danville, and read on!

The front cover is the winning design from our Your Favorite Place in a Story youth art contest. Here is the artist's inspiration: "I chose to draw one of the first chapters in the classic story Alice in Wonderland where Alice meets the Cheshire Cat. I love this part of the story, because the scene conveys a series of emotions. The whimsical surrounding always makes me smile, and the attitude of the Cheshire Cat is just as crazy as the forest. I love to read classic books, especially Alice in Wonderland, and this scene makes the book that much more special!"

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES THAT TEND TO WORK WELL IN VOLATILE MARKET

Age 55Y & Up | Town Staff

Global markets have been mired by inflationary pressures, geopolitical disruption, and the threat of a potential recession for much of 2022. What lies ahead for 2023? Will there be a global recession, or will the Feds be able to engineer a soft landing? At this workshop, John Lau CFP®, CPA, will present some of the practices and strategies he believes work well in volatile markets, including using a tilt model of asset allocation vis-à-vis the conventional static model. How position sizing and stop losses may help reduce portfolio volatility. How letting your winners run and stopping your losers short may help outperform.

In a Cirque du Soleil first, the stage is central in the arena and divides the venue, with each half of the audience facing the other half, giving a unique perspective not only of the show, but also the performer's eye vew of the audience. The set curtains, inspired by the Eiffel tower, and the central curtains, which were hand painted, give a grandiose feel to the stage. This sets the tone for the poetry of Corteo.

PAPER BAG BOOKS CRAFT

Make your own DIY paper bag book with this easy paper bag craft. Best of all are the pockets in this DIY book for stashing treasures!

SUPPLIES

• 3 Paper lunch bags (any size)

• Paper Punch and ribbons (or yarn)

• Markers, Crayons, pencil and paper

STEPS

Auggie's A-Corner COMMUNITY

1. To begin you need to create a flat “tunnel” from each bag. Leave the bag flat and cut off the gusseted part leaving just a flat “tube” of paper. Sack all three bags on top of one another and fold them in half.

2. Working with just one folded paper bag at a time punch a set of holes near the fold. Punch at least three, but more if desired.

3. Place the bag that’s already had holes punched on top of another bag and mark where holes should be punched. Remove the first bag, punch holes on the spots marked, and repeat with the third bag.

4. Use ribbon or yarn to loop through the holes and tie in bows or weave up and down through all of the holes.
