Table of Contents Fall 2015 Imagine the Possibilities…

This may come as a surprise to you but I’m someone who really enjoyed dressing up in costumes as a kid (and maybe a little as an adult too). I would let my imagination run wild whether I was a doctor, policeman, train conductor, explorer or ancient mummy. I could be so many things if I just imagined it and did it. I believe the fall season allows for each of us the opportunity to play and to dress up our imagination as we become anyone we want to be.

We can do this for real through lifelong learning and exploration of cultural arts and recreation activities offered by the Town.

SPECIAL EVENTS pages 3

THEATRE/ART GALLERY EVENTS page 4

You can get lost in your imagination as you take in a show at the Village Theatre, you can learn how to speak a new language or how to play the guitar, experience hands-on computer classes, get moving with a fitness class or even learn how to paint with oils & acrylic. It’s never too early or too late to imagine the possibilities this fall and learn something new.
