🐾 Our Goose Creek Cultural Arts Commission has been hard at work! This past week, commissioners gathered to plan an exciting summer of arts and community engagement while also taking on a very special project together: painting our new Rainbow Bridge.

🌈 For those unfamiliar, the Rainbow Bridge is a comforting symbol that honors beloved pets who have crossed over. It represents the place where cherished companions wait until they are reunited with their families someday.
