The signs appeared all over the Island last weekend and caught residents by surprise. One sits on the hill west of the Tashmoo overlook, with gnarled and bent trees in the background and to the right a green sward rolling to a glimpse of the lake. It is a crisp white sign with the words, “Look how much I adore you.” From a distance, it appears as a sharp rectangular shape imposed on the undulating natural forms all around. What to make of it? Who put it up — and why?
YMCA Healthy Kids Day
There will be Zumba. There will be yoga. There will be a petting zoo, face painting, swim assessments and healthy food.
The event is the YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day and it takes place tomorrow, April 28, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The day is dedicated to teaching kids the value and fun in physical activity.
It’s all free all day long.
Last year over 400 kids of all ages attended the event. There is even a “wee ones” play course, to get those toddlers toddling.
