🍁 Flannels, Friends & Fall FUN in the Park! 🍁
Gambo Public Library invites you to join us for an afternoon of FALL FUN at David Smallwood Park (Overflow Area) on Sunday, September 27th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
Everything at this event is completely FREE! We have designed our activities so that attendees of all ages—from toddlers to grandparents—can join in on the festive fun.
Here is what we have planned for the afternoon:
• Hayrides: Sit back, relax, and take in the beautiful fall foliage at David Smallwood Park. A classic autumn tradition that everyone can enjoy together.
• Campfires: Gather around the fire to roast some wieners and marshmallows! We will also be serving up delicious hot chocolate to enjoy while you chat with neighbors.
• Scavenger Hunt: Team up or go solo! Explore the park surroundings to solve clues and find hidden seasonal treasures. Everyone who completes the hunt will be rewarded with a sweet treat.
• Pine Cone Races: A little friendly, fast-paced competition! Adults and children can join in the fun!
• Fall Craft – Leaf Rubbing: Create a beautiful keepsake using real fallen leaves, you can capture the intricate textures of autumn. This simple, artistic activity is deeply relaxing for adults and a wonderful sensory experience for children.
🚗 General Parking:
All general attendees are asked to park outside the main gate. This keeps the inner overflow area clear, safe, and open for the campfires, scavenger hunts, and active game areas.
♿ Accessibility Exceptions:
Exceptions will absolutely be made for individuals with mobility issues. If you or a family member require closer access, you are more than welcome to drive through the main gate to park closer to the overflow area.
