Tomorrow is the day. Weather looks good!
BABY IT'S SMOKEY OUTSIDE! But the Scheig "Walk In the Park" event will go on tomorrow, Saturday, July 18, from 9-1pm as planned. We are mostly moving inside where it is air conditioned and smoke free. We will still have garden vendors selling shade plants, and garden art. All the kid activities will be inside and garden experts will be on hand to answer questions.
The event is free and open to the public. The Scheig Center is located inside Appleton's Memorial Park across from the ball park.
