A Time to be Thankful
As the weather cools and the rain begins
to fall again we know that we are reaching the Autumn months once more.
Traditionally this is a time of harvest and with the harvest comes thankfulness
for the abundance that we have. Reminding us that Thanksgiving is
once again upon us. Thanksgiving is a tradition dating back to the pilgrims
where communities join together during harvest time to celebrate all of
their blessings. In the next couple of weeks people will be joining together
with family and friends to celebrate all that we have been blessed with.
This year join your friends at Garden Park Tower for our Thanksgiving
Dinner on October 12th featuring a full Turkey dinner, music and more.
Don’t forget to get your tickets ahead of time!
For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank thee!
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
