We will set times for the parade and then the park activities by next week’s paper. So far we will be eating grilled hot dogs, have a free swim, a new water slide with a bounce house. We will play games so start looking for the fastest turtle, plus other games. If you want to participate or be a vendor we will have those details next week as well. A DJ will be having some karaoke and play some music for the evening. So mark your calendar and get your lawn chairs ready for a great night at the park.

The Bible has many accounts of dreams, their meanings, and interpretations. Written stories about Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, Paul, and others. Scholars have studied and tried to classify the different types of dreams during a person’s sleep cycle.

Summer Reading has arrived at the Allen Public Library! If you haven’t picked up a reading log to track your reading progress, please stop by and we have one with your name on it. What can I read you ask? A book, magazine article, online books, audio books, read a recipe (then make it with help), or even a chapter out of a Book in the Bible. Anything, and I mean literally anything if there are words involved. Summer of 2025 is all about the Colors in our World. What colors are you seeing? Nature, cars, animals, paintings, coloring books, whatever it maybe we have books to expand your view. My favorite book is “My Head is Full of Colors” by Catherine Friend. Maria wakes up EVERY morning with new thoughts, ideas, and colors in her mind. She finds books about that day’s thought. What will be next? Will it be about horses, flowers or even more books? Check it out to find out!
