We want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us at our events, brought their families and friends, and helped spread the word by sharing our posts!

This summer, we hosted 6 free events with different themes, interests, and locations throughout Amherst. There was something for everyone, and everyone was welcome to come out and enjoy!

We had an absolute blast spending our summer with you, and we hope Summer Thursdays brought a little more fun, connection, and memories to your summer.

Thank you to Mutual Insurance for sponsoring these events!
