And we hope y'all will love the 2015 annual Parkwood Christmas Holiday parade. Parade starts at 3pm on Saturday, Dec. 5th.

American Meltdown Bam Pow Chow Make-and-Take holiday craft table sponsored by The Scrap Exchange . After the parade, come to the office to let the kids meet Santa, and enjoy the festive music of the Parkwood Players. We still need volunteers for the day of the parade--if you can help out, please get in touch with the Parkwood office.

On   Friday, December 4th , we will be decorating two parade floats--one in memory of Betty Ertell, and one for Santa and Mrs. Claus--in the Parkwood office parking lot. We should be starting around   10:30am   or so. Volunteers to help decorate would be most appreciated. We also need at least 10 volunteers on the day of the parade itself, Saturday, December 5th.     If you can help, please get in touch with the office.      

Come out to the 2015 Parkwood Craft Bazaar, rain or shine, tomorrow! (Sat., Nov. 14th) Hours: 10am-2pm Where: The Parkwood office parking lot, 1417 Seaton Road. In the unlikely event of rain, the bazaar will be inside in the Community Center.

We have confirmed our second food truck for the 2015 Parkwood Christmas Holiday parade, and it's American Meltdown , from our own corner of South Durham. My mouth is watering just reading their menu!

New for the annual parade this year, we'll be featuring two food trucks set up in the office parking lot on Seaton Road. The first food truck to tell everyone about is Bam Pow Chow -- "fine dining quality with affordable and casual prices." 2015 will be their first year at the Parkwood parade, and we want to thank them for joining us this year. The parade itself starts at 3pm on Saturday, Dec. 5th, so come out early to grab a spot to watch, and pick up some lunch while you're at it--check out their menu . When we get the second food truck confirmed, we'll let everyone know. Meanwhile, please give a warm Parkwood welcome to Bam Pow Chow.

At the October 2015 monthly Board of Directors meeting, the Board elected its officers: Jacob Ehrisman, President James Beidler, Vice President Pandora Simpson, Secretary Matthew Schellenberg, Treasurer Board members and officers can be reached via the Parkwood office email . Many thanks to the outgoing officers for their years of service, and welcome to the new Board members and officers.

Due to the worsening weather forecast, we are rescheduling the Flea Market to Saturday, Oct. 10th, 8am to noon. Note we've also shifted the start time by an hour, to take into account the later sunrise in the fall. If we get rained out again on the 10th, there will not be another reschedule. We hope everyone stays safe and dry, and we'll see you all on the 10th.
