The Carlton Family Water Feature at Spencer Town Park opens for the season on Monday, June 15!

The splash pad will be open Monday through Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. throughout June, July, August, and September. Located next to the Gathering Lawn and F&M Bank Pavilion, it offers a fun way for residents and visitors of all ages to cool off this summer.

The Water Feature was made possible through a generous donation from the Carlton family in memory of Maxine Smith Carlton and Thomas Kern Carlton. The family has also contributed toward a future children's exploration and play area planned for the park.

Join us this Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., or until the produce is gone. The market will be at the Community Garden for 10 weeks throughout the summer.

This market operates on a donate-if-you-can model. Donations are appreciated, but fresh, locally grown produce is available to everyone, regardless of ability to contribute.

Attention Spencer community! Our blessings pantry is currently empty. There is a lot of need in the community these days, and every little bit helps. If you can, please consider donating non-perishable foods and other shelf-stable items. We are so grateful to our neighbors who help keep the pantry stocked!
