Join us for an autumnal pizza party on Saturday as your afternoon activities wind-down! We will have a selection of slices for you to sample; feel free to pack your own reusable plate, utensils, AND beverage, or we will have compostable wear on site for those that need it. Seating is limited so feel free to bring a picnic blanket or folding chair too!

Kingfield community pizza events operate on a donation basis, with a suggested contribution of $10 per person to help offset the cost of lighting the oven and purchasing ingredients. Children are welcome accompanied by an adult.

Also: consider raising a loaf of bread dough later that evening at your home and coming back on Sunday morning to see how the oven performs at a cooler temp! The open bread-baking will occur between 9-11 AM Sunday Sept 16, as space allows! See details on the bread bake here.

Lakewood Cemetery invites the public to its fourth annual Lantern Lighting Celebration. This family-friendly event offers an opportunity for people to celebrate the lives of deceased loved ones by decorating a floating lantern in their memory. At dusk, in a beautiful ceremony, attendees gather to release their candlelit lanterns onto Lakewood’s eight-acre lake, while the names of loved ones are read aloud.

Since its inception in 2015, the event has grown through strong community support — from 400 people in its first year to more than 1,500 in 2017.  Visit Facebook to watch a short video from last year’s event to see what it means to people to participate in this event.

Throughout the event, guests can enjoy live music, food and refreshments from food vendors, the beauty of Lakewood’s scenic grounds, and take self-guided tours of the cemetery via Lakewood’s mobile app.

Tickets are available at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3459518. Cost is $5 and covers the use of one lantern and the art supplies to decorate it.
