Explore Summer Kick-off Party
Wednesday, June 26 from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Get the scoop on summer reading at our annual kick-of party! Attendees can register for summer reading, eat free ice cream, add to our community painting, and help us chalk the walk. Yard games will be set out for summer chilling, and we’ll be collecting non-perishable items for the Skaneateles Ecumenical Food Pantry. Come for the ice cream social, stay for the community vibes.
