Mark your calendars! We are hosting National Night Out at the City Hall Plaza on Tuesday, Aug. 6 between 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.! Join us for an unforgettable night full of food, fun, and community for the whole family! 😁☀️

🌞🌊 As the temperatures rise, many of us head to the water to cool off. But let’s not forget to keep our waterways clean! Proper disposal of hazardous waste is crucial for clean beaches and better water quality. 🏞️

🧪 Remember, sinks, drains, and the ground can carry chemicals into our water, so be mindful of what you use at home. Try natural yard care and safer cleaning recipes to keep chemicals out of our waterways! 🌱

♻️ And don’t forget to dispose of common summer items like aerosol sunscreen, bug repellant, and propane tanks at the Hazardous Waste Mobile at the Outlet Collection on weekends!

HARVEST HIGHLIGHT: Meet Kent, co-owner of Design by Elaine, and skilled craftsman at the Auburn Farmers Market. The journey began when Kent met his wife Elaine. Elaine, known for her handmade cards and paper houses, dared life-long painter Kent to create a wooden house. So he did. That challenge sparked a passion in balsa wood crafting that extends to today. Now, Kent and Elaine blend their skills to offer handmade cards, paper and wooden houses, and stunning oil paintings at the farmers market.

Design by Elaine is known for their custom orders that touch the community. Kent shares, “we take custom orders, so if someone has a picture of their animal or landscape, I’ll do it. A lot of people will see the custom paintings available and say – my dog just passed away, or my sister’s dog passed away. A client, her husband Charles had passed away, he loved their dog. I always said I don’t paint people, but I did it for her. I did a portrait of Charles sitting at his favorite winery with his dog. When she opened it, she just cried her eyes out.”

Visit Design by Elaine at the Auburn Farmers Market every Sunday, 10 am – 3 pm at Les Gove Park.

It should come as no surprise that we had a fantastic time at Bon Odori on Saturday 😊
